Coventions of Thrillers

From the lesson we have done the conventions of thrillers, I will be taking to consideration when planning the Thriller. As a class we found some that are:

• Rapid, Straight cuts- showing the impression as there in insecurity and anxiety, a lot is happening.
• Score and music - that adds anxiety, this important as the audience wants to be involved in the film as they are part of the film.
• Low key lighting- Adding to the mysterious effect.
• Common setting - So the audience thinks it could happen to them, so they feel anxious
• Mysterious Plot - There has to be an enigma to make the audience think about the film.
• A main aspect of the plot- What the thriller is based on, what is happening to make it a thriller.
• Victims and bad people- Show the difference between them as the plot evolves

This is a slide show I have found that shows some conventions of thrillers on different aspects.
