The prestige

The mise-en-scene fits the conventions of a thriller opening. The lighting is dark and only shows key features in some shots which helps the audience understand which parts are important to the narrative. The props such as the bird cages are often associated with the feeling of being trapped which can make the audience feel tense. The set of the theatre has a red carpet, which has the connotations of danger, this foreshadows a dangerous plot line for the view which creates tension.
The narrative themes are conventional from what an audience expect from a thriller because the narrative is very "dark", such as some of the clip being set in a prison and a man's life could be taken.
The character's social classes are established from the very beginning through things such as the mise-en-scene. Characters who are of a higher social class ate indicated by having rich costume, and characters of a lower social class are wearing much more dull costume. Having characters of different power is typical in thrillers as it helps the narrative such as one character taking control of another.
