Thrillers are a genre focused on suspense and excitement, with narratives revolving around an enigma or mystery that is usually surrounded by violence. Common conventions include low key lighting, quick cuts between shots, shadows, tension-filled music, close up and extreme close up cinematography, and editing with many jumpy cuts and cross cutting between different storylines. Mise-en-scene elements like costumes, makeup, and hair styles are also important aspects.
