Genre Mind Map.

I produced a mind map using bubbl.us. I had to think of different aspects of thriller such as: mood & atmosphere, visual elements and iconography, events that usually take place in the thriller and different stereotypical characters that take part in a thriller. Also I had to think of different examples of thrillers and their openings. I came up with as much of examples and ideas as I could think of, which I then put on the mind map. This will help me to specify what should my thriller opening include to make it effective and captivating.
