What My Thriller Should Consist Of

What My Thriller Should Consist Of

In thrillers, gender, age, ethnicity and class are used to represent different things. They are looked in to closely and manipulated to the preference of the director. It is purposely done in a way of communicating social matters and other matters to the audience. I made this spider diagram from Spicynodes to try and help you understand the key concepts that come up in my media product that are important and that I have also seen in other Thrillers. The dark scenery is common at different stages in Thriller, it is seen a lot in horror Thrillers and I believe it was necessary as the dark scenery would perhaps suggest that something bad is imminent to happen. The young pretty girl is often deployed in Thrillers, often as a distraction or a sidekick to aid the man on his mission or even both as it is seen in North by Northwest as Roger Thornhill meets a dashing young blonde woman. The stereotypical black boy is not often seen in Thrillers but is now seen in more modernised Thrillers, stereotyping black boys to be criminals or a menace to society. The love interest is also present as the stalker is actually in love with Sarah but she cheated on him with a more popular boy in school so he seeks his revenge but because he has mental problems it results to him stalking her. The quick edited scenes are often used in Thrillers  both modern and old. This is a key convention of Thriller's that I took account when making my media product. The suspense is present while Sarah enters the house not knowing the stalker and his companion are there. The cliffhanger is used in many Thriller's I have watched and it is a very useful technique to use, I used it at the end of my media product.
