Silence of the Lambs Opening

The music is not particularly horror-themed at the beginning but develops as the scene goes on, notably when the cast names come up in a dramatic way. The main character is played by Jodie Foster, which is unusual as most thriller films have a main male character, so this immediately distinguishes itself from other thriller films, making it unique.
There is a contrast between the main character wearing casual clothes and others wearing uniform, as she enters a building.
As she goes into a man's office, we see the Mise en Scène of the room, and this may be an important setting for the film. The man gives the main character information about a murderer, so this keeps the viewer watching the film.

We also watched the opening to The Usual Suspects and the atmosphere and lighting was dark.
