Thrillers commonly include certain props, locations, and characters in their semantics. Props usually involve weapons, locations take place in dark cities, and characters consist of a murky antagonist and an enigmatic protagonist. Syntactically, thrillers typically tell a story of a protagonist searching for and avenging murders committed by an antagonist villain. An effective thriller trailer must incorporate these semantic and syntactic elements.

1. Thriller

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.
