Arlington Road
The genre is not very well established to start off with, but from the blood, we assume that it is going to be a horror. The location is filmed within a nice estate full of big family houses, and a child is walking up the road cradling his arm which is gushing with blood. It is filmed in broad daylight which challenges the traditional horror/ thriller stereotypes because people normally assume it's going to be dark lighting, filmed at night etc. From the first two minutes, the audience would think that this film is a horror because of the blood and gore, but this film is actually a thriller, which is why the genre is not very well established at first! As the audience we also meet the protagonist in the first two minutes. You can tell he is the protagonist because he takes the injured boy to hospital. The first two minutes suggests that the protagonist and the boy are the main characters because shots mainly cut back to them. Because the film opens on a gory scene and shows us the injured child within the first two minutes, we assume it's going to be a crucial part within the film.
