The link above shows the clip of the opening to 'American Psycho'.

As the first part of our thriller introduces the themes involved in a our thriller, I have taken inspiration from 'American psycho' based on the camera movement in the opening seconds of this film. The first part to our opening is set in a room which has a wall covered in photos of girls with Lewis standing next to it. A method of introducing this scene is by having a very slow-moving tracking shot in which the wall blocks the audience's view of the photos before they are fully introduced in order to add a mysterious approach to this part. The aim is to have the camera moving really steadily around the corner of the room before the images on the wall are fully exposed. As the audience get a glimpse of the photos, the camera will cut to another viewpoint of the room, likewise to the camerawork in this example where it camera cut to an image of a bed.

The music at this point will also be very crucial in order create an immediate, suspicious atmosphere and quickly engage the audience to the thriller. Having been influenced by this film for this part, I think that this idea closely relates to the conventions of a thriller. This is by the slow-paced, mysterious non-diegetic sound. This sound will build tension and add suspense top this part. Additionally, it clearly yet suspiciously introduces the narrative of thriller that focuses around crime and the character being introduced is viewed by the audience to appear dark and perhaps not socially accepted, therefore making him an isolated character. The location also follows the conventions of a thriller by being set in a deserted place.
