what is a triller

thrillers are designed to keep the audience on the edge of their seats till the end of the movie, thrillers are designed to cover many different genres that are recognised largely by movie goers such as; misteries, murders and cheesy chase scenes in the woods.


generic conventions of trillers:
1. Plot twist
2. keeping people unsure about what is going to happen
3. a lot of action
4. often chaotic
5. have resourcefull heroes and exotic settings


thriller plots can vary widely, very intelectually chalenging, spy thrillers, supernatural themes and scientific and medical.


a popular theme is spy thrillers, a spy vs an unpopular enemy in exotic locations= LIKE
these are so popular because everyone likes a bit of action suspense and exotic locations.


some thrillers are challenging and can attract slightly more intelectual people to the cinema, these tend to involve some phsycological aspects which can get intelectual audiences to start analysing the character.


thrillers are often Hybrids, this means that they are not just thrillers, you can have any mix of the following and many more:
1. action-thrillers
2. adventure-thrillers
3. sci-fi-thrillers
4. crime-thrillers
5. western-thrillers
6. film-noir-thrillers
7. horror-thrillers
and even
8. romantic comedy thrillers


thrillers are massively suspensefull, arguably the best director of this was hitchcock. he would cover up information, this added more suspense and tension keeping the audience more on edge. this normaly would build up to a climax later in the film.
