2. Semantic of Thrillers
• The common semantics of a
thriller movie will be to include
certain prop, locations and
characters. The usual props in
a thriller would be a weapon
such as a knife or a gun, which
the antagonist would use. The
common location for a thriller
would be a dark dull
city, because other setting
would be unsuitable, for
example the countryside. The
usual character in a thriller
would be a antagonist, which
will be a murky character and
protagonist, which will be an
enigmatic character.
3. Syntactic of Thriller
• The common story of a thriller
genre would be to include an
antagonist, which would be the
villain and murder ETC. It would
also include the
protagonist, which would be the
hero, for example a detective. The
common theme of a thriller would
be the protagonist searching for
the antagonist and avenge the
murders. An example of this
theme is The Dark Knight
Rises, where Bain is the
antagonist and Batman is the
protagonist.
4. Conclusion
• From the information I have gained I
found that the semantic and the
syntactic have to be included in our
trailer for it to become a effective
thriller.
