opening sequences to

the opening of pulp fictions starts of with silence and a definition of pulp appears on the screen.

silence can be used as a convention in some thriller films because it could show a progression in sound and action.

the definition is bold and stands out to the audience showing that it's significant in the film

in this frame 2 main characters are introduced. they are eating at a restaurant and talking about robbing banks. this appeals to the audience because it makes them want to keep watching as there will be action later on.

we hear diegetic sounds of people eating in the background. this shows the normality of the place despite these 2 characters talking about robbing banks

this frame shows one of the main characters mid shot. this allows us to connect to the character and to see the characters motives. this frame doesnt contain many conventions of thriller but the character does mention how they are going to rob the place so it indicates action soon

the gun prop is a typical convention of thriller and action movies.

the dark colours grey and black are also conventions of thriller

when he places the gun on the table all background noises stop which can show at that moment he has most power because he has a gun

in this frame the characters get up and start waving their guns around. this is a good because we know already the film is going to be full of action as in the opening there's a heist. the loud shouting noises and the guns are conventions of action-thrillers. at this point is starts introducing the film (miramax films presents) this indicates the guns and action is what the film is mostly about. making viewers want to keep watching for more action

in this frame the name of the film appears. the bold, clear yellow and red writing indicates action and danger.

the black in the background makes the writing stand out more which again could indicate there will be much more action. its also a convention of thriller

there is also loud rock music in the background the loud noise indicates action and thriller genres and the rock music intrigues the audience and makes viewers want to watch more
