Genre:
Bricks genre is thriller and the opening sequence tells the audience this by showing them a dark, mysterious characters ,Erie music and a death,
Editing/Camera Work:
The editing was interesting when there was a close up shot of the dead girls arm with the bangles on and then cuts to the school scene with a close up of the same arm and bangles opening a locker. This editing placing these to shots together shows they have gone back in time which leaves a gap in the story that the audience wants filled which is a convention on a title sequence.
