Analysis of Cache/ Hidden

Cache/Hidden is a 2005 production from Michael Haneke. The opening sequence begins with a long shot of a suburban flat/house in France. For a few minutes nothing happens, playing on the way that Michael Haneke likes to playwith the audience's patience, and then there is speaking over the film.

How does the opening sequence of this film use Thriller conventions?
There are many questions left unanswered in the opening sequence, as nothing really happens visually in the opening, there is just a voiceover talking about things that the audience wants to know about. This happens because the audience is waiting for something to happen. Also, because it is like the characters' house is being watched, it makes the audience ask who is watching them.
What questions does it pose?
Who/What are they waiting for?
How does it make the audience feel?
Confused, Unsure.
