Thriller Conventions

  • Protagonist (someone vulnerable)

  • Typical black background with white text (to stand out)

  • Use of fades and cross dissolves

  • No dialouge ( doesnt give you any clues through dialouge what is going on

  • voiceover ( adds suspence because you cant see the persons face)

  • Conscience (can feel what the person is going through)

  • Flashbacks (gives the audience an insight into expericences of the character)

  • Either fast up beat music to create tension or slow mysterious music to build suspense.

  • Low key lighting
