The opening sequence to Shoot Em up

This film falls under a Thriller genre because the opening sequence leads the audience to suspense and mystery. in the first 30 seconds a women is seen running from a thug which then a mysterious man follows the thug and kills him. This film opens with an establishing shot which then follows in with a close-up of the central protagonist leading to a long shot of the women being chased by the villain. The clip finishes of with a two shot showing the carrot in the villains mouth also seeing the protagonists facial expression.This being a thriller i also think the sub-genre is action thriller as it contains shooting and violence. The narration of this film is Linear as the plot just begins and there are no flash backs yet to piece together.

Good links to genre again here Ibrahim, but try to use as much detail and evidence as you can to justify why this is a thriller. Also try to discuss mise-en-scene, sound etc to support your points.
