Thriller Conventions

  • black background with white writing - these are dark boring colours to set the beginning mood of the thriller
  • very little dialect - used to make the film more mysterious and to make the audience think harder about what is going on.
  • dark shadows and little lighting - sets the atmosphere of a thriller 
  • weird and unusual camera angles - to show the different sides of the characters
  • tension building music - to create an uneasy feel for the audience

    Hi Sam- a bit too brief; this could be improved by commenting on each convention- what is its effect? Why is it often used? What kind of themes do thrillers often include?
