In these open titles you can see the graphic novel style it is in aswell as the conventions used in a thriller; such as; Guns, desaturation, blood, the music used is that of a crime thriller and is in comic book style.



The narration and footsteps are very classic thriller conventions, but also the suits and glamorous dresses are also classic thriller conventions used in classic thrillers such as the Godfather. 'Care for a smoke?' again, another classic crimey, thriller based convention.
The camera directly looks at the packet of cigarettes, emphasising there impotance. Again this time this a camera shot of the lighter. And again the rain adds pathetic fallacy showing us that something bad is going to happen, then in mystery he holds her as if they're in love and then shoots her with a slienced pistol which again is an important convention. But challenges conventions by unexpected murder as he kills her. then the reverse shot out zoom, is almost science fiction.
