We know straight away that the film is a high budget film as we see a production company that is recognisable. This instantly would engage the audience.
After the production companies the music begins quietly and then all of a sudden becomes louder, this indicates to us that this film is a thriller.
The credits are shown before the film begins. The font of the credits suggest that the film is for a mature audience. It also suggests that the rest of the film will startle you a lot.
We know what genre it is because in the opening when the names are shown the music is quite but then all of a sudden glass smashes as an object has been thrown. The objects all connote danger and death. The objects include a knife covered in blood, objects on fire and broken objects. From this is suggests that the film included a lot of blood and gore.
The way the credits have been done are so that there is a couple of seconds of screen time for the names of the actors/actresses etc and then they have the loud music and smashing of glass. This also emphasises how the film may be, e.g there is a build up and then something big happens.
As the music has a fast beat we know that this film is a thriller as it suggests that the film is fast paced and there is something constantly happening. We also know it's a thriller because of the colours which are mainly red and black, as these are the conventions mainly used throughout horror and thriller films
There have been a lot of jump cuts used to cut between different objects being destroyed. This again indicates that the film is fast paced and that there is a lot of things happening at once.
