This document summarizes the conventions used and challenged in a media thriller product. It identifies several common thriller conventions used, such as fast editing, red herrings, cliffhangers, building suspense, and a male antagonist. One convention challenged is the use of a female protagonist instead of the typical male hero. The document also applies Barthes' theory of the enigma code to analyze the unanswered question of why a character was killed, though it notes the opening does not follow Todorov's typical 5 stages of narrative.
