No Country For Old Men conforms to the commercial opening of a thriller because it sets the scene by using Extreme Wide Shots of the desert and there is no sign of civilization, this makes it feel like a very desolate place. There is a explanation at the start if the film which sets the mood. Also its very very silent and the only thing you can hear is the wind which makes it very dreary, the best example of this is when the man is hunting deer and its so silent you can hear his footsteps and the shell hit the floor when he fires his gun.
