The document discusses the genre of thrillers. It defines thrillers as films with exciting, suspenseful plots. Common thriller elements include an antagonist who aims to harm the protagonist, steadily increasing suspense, and an unpredictable plot twist. Thrillers also typically use non-diegetic sounds and scores to build suspense and suggest danger. Settings are often remote or mysterious areas that isolate characters.

5. Characters
Most thrillers demonstrate a narrative in which
good fights against evil. Therefore there would
typically be two main characters…
The antagonist and the protagonist/ hero
Portrayed as the victim
of the antagonist’s
actions or the person
attempting to stop the
antagonist’s plans
Typically portrayed as
a crazy/psycho
character who's main
goal is to harm the
protagonist
6. Plot
In some cases these
conventions of good vs. evil,
protagonist vs. antagonist
aren’t followed, in many
thrillers the protagonist can
ultimately become the
antagonist of the film and
cause more harm than the
original protagonist.
7. Plot
Thrillers tend to variety in story lines so to
create tension and suspense, this making them
unpredictable.
Steep incline
where suspense
is slowly built up
Climatic scene where
the built up suspense
lead to, something
bad most likely
happens
Everything is
resolved and
tension goes down
A twist is set on the plot
ending the film in a plot
hanger, this is extremely
common for thrillers as for
some films the aim is to
play with the viewer's mind.
Some films
would end at
this point with a
“happy ending”
8. Props
Many thrillers tend to have a sense of mystery, and
in many cases it is never resolved leaving the
audience with many questions. To achieve this
some films would use a Macguffin, a prime
example of this is The Case in pulp fiction.
9. Sound
Non-diegetic sound is a crucial part of thrillers. The
sound tends to be a variation of low and high pitched
scores, which vary in speed depending on what is
happening in the scene or what is to happen further on
therefore it is also used to foreshadow and build
suspense
For example, in the opening
sequence for the shinning:
http://www.youtube.com/watc
h?v=TgCejsyS0t8
The sound score does not suit
the image of in the scene, the
use of eerie music instantly
informs the viewer that the film
is a thriller/ horror.
10. Sound
In thrillers Non- diegetic sound is
also used to suggest what is
happening in a scene. For
example, in the iconic shower
scene in Psycho:
https://www.youtube.com/watch
?v=atjhOhH-V3E
The music score is used to
demonstrate the danger Tony
Perkins posses over Janet Leigh as
it does not start until he enters
the scene and ends when after he
leaves and Janet collapses dead.
11. Setting
Most thriller films are either set in a remote
area, somewhere eerie, mysterious or even
haunted. Or even in a small remote town.
Both The Shinning in Psycho were set in remote large hotel/homes
