Lighting decisions
Again using other thriller openings for reference I came to the conclusion that generally thriller openings are either shot with very high key lighting, or very low key lighting. I think that this is to emphasis the mood of the sequence because just a standard 3 point lighting wouldn't create tension.
In the opening to 'The girl with the dragon tattoo' a very effective lighting method is used where the majority of the screen is dark however key aspects are highlighted using a key light. I think this effect would be easily achievable in our opening and would work effectively to build the initial suspense.
