M A I N T H R I L L E R C O N V E N T I O N S
The main outline of Thriller films would consist of a battle between the good and the bad, the protagonist and the antagonist.
A chain of bad events would create tension and disrupt the equilibrium as the protagonist will try and restore the justice as the antagonist seeks to destroy it.
While planning, filming and editing our opening sequence I feel we should try not to keep it cliche and predictable while still including the main thriller conventions.
C h a r a c t e r s
- Protagonist- brave male who restores peace
- Antagonist- a hidden identity who wants revenge for their past and is then revealed during the course of the film
- Convicts
- Victims
- Assassins
- Police etc
E d i t i n g
- Low key lighting
- Quick cuts and changing shot types
- Shadows
- Tension building music
- Diegetic sound(breathing)
