AND CHARACTERIZED TO BE DEFINED BY THE MOODS THEY ELICIT, GIVING
VIEWERS HEIGHTENED FEELINGS OF SUSPENSE, EXCITEMENT, SURPRISE AND
ANTICIPATION. CRIME THRILLERS USUALLY CONTAIN A PROTAGONIST OF WHO IS
INVOLVED HEAVILY WITH CRIME RELATED SITUATIONS AND THEN AN ANTAGONIST,
AT ONE POINT IN THE NARRATIVE EQUILIBRIUM IS DISRUPTED BETWEEN THEM.

THRILLERS. OFTEN SHADOWS ARE USED TO REPRESENT THE UNKNOWN
WITHIN DARKNESS AND THE FEELING OF A STRANGER BEING PRESENT
TO BUILD UPON FEAR. THIS USUALLY SHOWS THE PROTAGONIST TO BE
OBLIVIOUS IN ORDER TO PRESENT A WEAKNESS WITHIN THEM. SMALL
SOURCES OF LIGHT MAY BE USED, SUCH AS STREET LAMPS WHICH
FOCUS ON THE PROTAGONIST AND HOW THEY ARE SURROUNDED BY
DARKNESS, CREATING A TENSE ATMOSPHERE WITH LOW KEY UNDER
EXPOSED LIGHTING.
