Today our class began to decide upon our groups. I decided to work with Hannah Godfrey and then we both decided to keep the group to the two of us to avoid conflicting ideas with numerous group members, from personal experience working with Hannah in the past worked out well and to make meeting up to film, plan and discuss out task at hand.

This film fits conventions of a Thriller genre with the consistent use of twists and turns in the plot, clues to the Narrator figuring out who Tyler is that don't end up helping him, as well as clues that do and the use of long periods of time with increasing incidental music to create tension.
The Genre:
A lot of of Thrillers are hybrids such as action or adventure thrillers, sci-fi thrillers such as Alien (1979), crime-caper thrillers (such as The French Connection (1971), western thrillers such as High Noon (1952), film noir thrillers such as Double Indemnity (1944), even romantic comedy thrillers (such as Safety Last (1923), also the more famous horror thrillers (also occasionally known as chillers) such as Halloween (1978). - http://www.filmsite.org/thrillerfilms.html
In a list of the top 50 Thriller Films according to www.IMDB.com include in the top 5 of these films from between 1954 up to 2008. This suggest that even a 45 year old film can still be regarded as such a high quality thriller in comparison to a film released just last year. - http://www.imdb.com/chart/thriller
