Genre Conventions Mind MapAbbie Shuttleworth

Introduction In this research I am going be finding out more about the thriller genre. I will look at different aspects such as narrative, characters, settings, themes, use if sound and editing. This will help me when creating my own opening sequence by looking at typical characteristics of the thriller genre.

Conclusion After completing this research I have found out many things to do with the thriller genre. For example, the typical setting for a thriller would be set in the city like in the film ‘The Dark Knight Rises’. This has helped me by looking at different ideas on what to add into my opening sequence when planning to make it conventional of a thriller. When creating my own production I could think about different character types, for example me and my group are thinking of adding a stalker into our opening production to make it conventional of a thriller. I could think about using different editing in order to make my opening sequence conventional of a thriller by using low key lighting and lots of close up shots.
