Here we have our female hacker, which first overall does not normally fit with the general ideas of hackers. But is similar to the conventions of 'The Girl with the Dragon tattoo'.

The violence that happens in this opening squence upholds the typical conventions of a thriller, that there is some type of actions already happening and makes it exciting and the audience would be expecting it.

The technology side is also sterotypical to thrillers as many are based around them nowadays about identity fruad and the wiki leaks. this is also intresting to people in the technology proffession.

The chase element also upholds the conventions of a thriller, and that is a defensless girl being chased by an armed hitman is stereotypical as women are normally seen to be week.

These title squences tell the audience what type of thriller they are going yo be watching, as the numbers and graphs that are sliding down and crossing around the place represent the idea of hacking and top secrect important information.

Here the female hacker is attacting the hitman who has come to kill her, this does not conform to the typical conventions of a thriller film as usually the women either gets resuced or killed. but in this case she beats the man on her own and kills him.

She is attractive which upholds the conventions that main female characters in films usually are attractive as the male audience are attracted by this.
