Thriller

Thrillers are films that include frequent overlapping sub-genres. They are normally filmed from two characters point of view, for example the “baddies” point of view and the “goodies” point of view. Along with this, cross cutting is used to distinguish a divide in the two groups, and also to allow the audiences to see what each group is doing at different parts of the film. The characters in thrillers are often characterised by the clothes, and look of them. For example if there is a man dressed in black who has a scar across his eye, the audience would presume that this man is trouble and possibly the bad character. Themes of thrillers are generally murder, terrorism, and loneliness. Thrillers can also include for-shadowning, this will build up the audiences tension and anxiety as it may give away hints as to what will happen at the end of the film. Many thrillers effectively use the contrast or light and dark. This also help sets the scene for the audience. Music also plays a big part of thrillers, with fast, uppasted music for energetic action scenes, and if something is about to jump out, generally the music builds up as the fright is about to imerge.
