The definition of a thriller by Wikipedia is :
"Thriller is a genre of literature, film, and television programming that uses suspense, tension, and excitement as its main elements. Thrillers heavily stimulate the viewer's moods, giving them a high level of anticipation, ultra-heightened expectation, uncertainty, surprise, anxiety and terror. Films of this genre tend to be adrenaline-rushing, gritty, rousing and fast-paced."
Conventions:
- The storyline is either a quest/objective/mystery that the protagonist must complete/solve
- The antagonist (or their forces) must be initially more powerful then the protagonist's
- Suspense/tension must be created
- Plot twists
- Dark/low key lighting and shadows
- Dramatic music to build up the tension
- Quick edits during a tense scene
- Violence
- Flashbacks
