Conventions of a Thriller Film

Most films have different conventions so that the audience know what genre of film it is, as an example of this, for a Romantic comedy, it's very happy with 2 people falling in love, with bright colours and the music is very happy and romantic. So for our Thriller opening sequence, I have to do some research to find out what we need to include in ours. Thriller films usually make the audience mysteriosu of what is going to happen. This can be done by;

• Camera shots and movement - In the examples of Thriller films that I have scene, most of them have camera movements and very jumpy and quick. This helps to bring tension to the scene and to keep the auidence on the edge of their seats.
• Editing - In thriller films, a lot of editing is needed for the scenes because as they invlove a lot of speed, they need to be very fast and jump from one scene to another.
• Sound - This is very important for a Thriller film because it helps bring tension, again a speed of the music can give audience a feeling of something dangerous is going to happen.
• Mise-en-scene - This is a good way of knowing what is going to happen in a Thriller film. Props can give a way what is going to happen so it doesnt leave the viewer feeling confussed and not knowing what is happening.
