What is a Thriller?


In our lesson, we discussed what we'd expect to see in the opening scene of a thriller.
We listed some things we thought would make a thriller:

  1. Mystery or action that excites the audience, hence the name 'thriller'
  2. Large variety of locations/sets/scenes
  3. Has a 'clued narrative' with a climax,
  4. Has regular intervals of tension and suspense
  5. Audiences are left thinking, they aren't always satisfied by the ending
  6. Surreal stories however make up for the lost satisfaction, because they draw people into the action.
In our group we also wrote down technical ideas of our own for sound, editing, mise en scene and camera and what we'd expect in an opening sequence. 
Things we'd have to think about when making our thriller are:
Who
What 
When
Where
Why?
