Thriller conventions
Suspense, tension and excitement.
These are the typical features of a thriller. They are what makes a thriller a thriller. They help carry the films story and draw the audience into the story.
Atmosphere.
The atmosphere is the sense that something bad could happen at any point in the film. It is usually built with ominous shots and eerie music.
Fast passed music (minimalistic).
Minimalistic music is usually the style of music that thriller directors use. This is because it is typically very fast, strange sounding and punchy it is perfect for creating the right atmosphere that thrillers need.
Makes the audience use its imagination.
In a lot of thrillers the killer or the enigma is not show until the very end of the film or at all. This helps to scare the audience and build suspense because they are imagining something far scarier because they cannot see the real enigma.
Plain titles.
This technique is usually used because it does not give a lot away about the content of the film. The plain credits also help to build the atmosphere.
Dark lighting and shadows.
These are used for the obvious reason that when its dark and things are obscured by shadow it is instantly a scary atmosphere. These things help to suck the audience into the story and be scared by the events happening on screen.
No bright colours.
This is used because if there is an absence of colour then the story and setting seem bleak and hopeless. This helps to give atmosphere to the story because it seems like there was no hope from the beginning.
Creates questions, Draw in the audience.
Often from the very beginning of a thriller the first three minutes leave the audience with loads of questions. This is to draw the audience in and helps to hook them and make them keep watching the film.
