This document discusses the thriller genre of film. It defines thrillers as films that create excitement, suspense, and anticipation by building towards a climactic ending. Alfred Hitchcock directed some of the earliest thrillers in the 1920s-1940s, setting conventions like tense music, shadows, and cliffhangers. Popular thriller conventions include isolated settings, props like guns, low-key lighting, ambient sounds, and characters like criminals, victims, and anti-heroes. Popular modern thriller directors include Christopher Nolan, Martin Scorsese, and popular actors like Leonardo DiCaprio. Thrillers generally target older teenage and adult audiences.
History of horror
Horror films deal with viewers' nightmares and fears of the unknown, often involving the invasion of evil or supernatural forces into the everyday world. Early horror films featured ghosts, monsters, and other tropes that expressed societal fears through supernatural tales. The genre became increasingly popular from the 1930s-1960s as movie technology advanced and studios produced films featuring iconic characters like Frankenstein and Dracula. Subgenres emerged in subsequent decades focusing on themes like evil children, demonic possession, and graphic gore. Modern horror films continue to explore these tropes with larger budgets and technology that attract wider audiences.

The document summarizes how the horror genre has changed over time from the 1920s to present day. Early horror films relied on Gothic monsters and non-diegetic sound, while modern films employ graphic special effects and psychological plots.

By examining conventions through history, trends emerge showing what continues to scare audiences based on the technology and events of each era.
