3. We have been asked to film a 3 minute introduction for a thriller movie. Me and 3 other colleges will be
working together to do this.
We watched different thriller concepts to get ideas but ended up doing something completely different,
being unique about it.
4. A thriller is a movie genre. Most thriller movies consist of battle between the protagonist character and the
antagonist character. The story line of the thriller movie will consist of a plot twist with a chain of bad
events which builds tension and suspense into the climax.
The aim is for the protagonist character is to restore justice when the antagonist character wants to
different.
5. Protagonist – Who usually has to do a task for a reward or as a saviour. This is the main character.
Antagonist – The enemy of the protagonist character who wants to stop the protagonist character from
achieving his aim.
Main storyline – This is the protagonist characters past, present and future during the attack of the
antagonist.
Main plot – The plot twist or the scene where the protagonist decided to start their task.
Realistic characters and actions – To keep the audience intrigued in the film as if it could happen to
them.
Climax/high level of anticipation – To keep their audience on the edge of their seats.
