Thriller genre research
Thriller conventions
- Isolated setting which therefore makes characters more vulnerable as there is no one around to help them
- Dark colours and low-key lighting which adds more mystery and suspense as you cant see anything in the background so you are unsure if anything is there
- Props like guns and knifes make the storyline more dangerous and provoke fear in the audience as you know death is more likely to occur.
- Everyday settings like houses/college/school which makes it more relatable for the audience and means the action is unpredicted
- Plot twists like when a character dies but you don't realise until the end of the film
- Close-ups and extreme close-ups to show emotions. They also leave mystery as you cannot see what is around the character
- Usually have the narrative from the protagonists point of view, this helps sympathise with them and helps the audience feel their emotions
- Confined/Claustrophobic places provokes the audience to feel trapped along with the character due to the very close ups shots reflecting the small amount of space.
- Shadows in a dark setting make you think there is someone following you
