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)
