Thriller Task- Conventions

I have learnt many thriller conventions from previous thriller films and hope to incorporate some of them into my thriller. These include:

Atmospheric music is used for different effects.

Normally a vulnerable victim, stereotypically a female or child.

A complex narrative structure.

Themes of identity.

Themes of voyeurism.

Themes of mirroring.

The lighting is normally dark, to create an sinister effect.

Normally a twist in the plot.

Creates a narrative enigma.

Includes an antagonist.

Includes an protagonist.

Builds up tension and suspense throughout the film.

Setting normally in a dark place.

A crime at the centre of the narrative.

Extraordinary events happen in ordinary situations.

The title sequence often reflects the character's psychological state.

Often a scene where the protagonist is in danger.

Protagonist has a flaw which the antagonist exploits.
