Conventions of a Thriller

Crime - for example a murder.


A complex narrative with false paths and enigmas


Suspense (waiting for something to happen) and Tension (when something is happening)
build up - for example a fight scene.



Micro elements - musical score, low key lighting (creates mystery), canted angles (distortion)



Protagonist (the hero, normally the main character) and antagonist (usually the villain or force working against the antagonist)
