Conventions of a thriller

During our lesson today we discussed the different conventions included within a thriller film. We agreed that the main narrative focus of a thriller is on solving crime and usually involves the government in action thrillers. Sinister, eerie music and exaggerated sound effects are usually included to create suspence and the story of the film is normally scary and psychological. More experimental editing, such as, parrallel, non lined and montage. Binnary opposite characters, for example, the protagonist who is usually seen in peril and has a weakness which is usually referred to in the title. Another character would be the antagorist who normally causes problems for the protagonist.
