I looked into the conventions of the thriller genre so I have a background knowledge of what I am trying to create, this is help me out greatly as i know what devices to use to get the right effects.
- Quick, choppy camera angle changes
- Music that is dramatic and builds tension
- Strong lighting and the use of darkness and shadow
- A lot of quick paced action to keep it interesting and buzzy
- A feeling of hopelessness or desperation – looking like theres no way out
- Dramatic irony – where the audience know more than the characters
- Titling – dramatic build up before the movie even starts
- Camera s shoot close and personal distance of the characters to create a feeling of involvement and make it feel like you are there, rather than watching form afar.
- Props and symbols that set the scene and are common to thrillers – guns, weapons, police, time.
