As is seen in the film Psycho, blood plays an important role in thriller films as a sort of climax to tension. The tense music of the genre as well as complex plot always result in deadly outcomes. Of course, in Psycho, chocolate syrup was used to simulate blood - and the shower scene was executed so perfectly that grown men left the cinema vomiting. However, a modern audience are baying for blood, and I would at least like to incorporate some gory effects into my opening, even if it's just a minor nose bleed or a dab of blood on the protagonist's shirt sleeve.
This photoshoot of the actor Jonathan Tucker also gave me inspiration for types of shot to use and character ideas. The costumes such as the bloodied apron and black rubber gloves could easy to get one's hands on, also.
