The conventions of a thriller include titles, music, fast paced editing, a variety of visual effects and effective location. It also includes a lot of close ups to view people in a mysterious way. For example, in a lot of close ups the characters face is hidden as the camera only shows half of their face, this presents an atmosphere of mystery towards that character.
Titles state who's done what role within the production of the film. The titles will usually appear in an interesting way, typical to a thriller genre. 'Quantum of Solace' is a great example of this.
Music will help convey the atmosphere the director wants. Fast paced editing will also convey an atmosphere the director will want depending on the genre of film. Visual effects and effective location will also help to do this. For example, to create a thriller and a tense atmosphere a scary location could be used, such as a cemetery at night.An effective title/opening thriller sequence must have most if not all of these conventions to appeal to the audience and to give them a clue as to what genre of film it is and what the film's about, by seeing a title/opening sequence the audience will be able to distinguish what genre of film it is.
