To aid my group and myself I have decided to upload some crucial Thriller Conventions to help guide our journey through creating our very own Thriller.
- Crime in the centre of the plot, often murder.
- A complex narrative structure.
- False clues leading to a 'dead end' in the plot.
- Real clues, resolved, then new clues found as a result.
- Narrative pattern of establishing enigma's which viewers expect to be resolved.
- A protagonist who is systematically dis empowered and is also drawn into a complex or complicated web of intrigue by the antagonist.
- Themes of identity.
- Themes of mirroring.
- Themes of voyeurism.
- A protagonist with a flaw which is taken advantage by an antagonist.
- The title of the film may reflect the protagonist's psychological state of mind.
- There is often a scene towards the end of the film where the protagonist is in peril.
- Features in the Mise-en-Scéne of the film which reflect the protagonists (or characters within the scene) state of mind.
