The Proairetic Code (Patsy Jones)

The proairetic code – actions that imply further action/reaction. E.g. a character has an argument and the reader wonders what the resolution or outcome of this argument will be. This creates suspense/tension as the audience wonder what the outcome will be and begin to make guesses.

All of these conventions haave been used in previous thriller opening sequences within films such as 'Panic room' and 'Saw'
