Evaluation Question 1

1.What are the conventions of the thriller genre?Well in our thriller, we used a lot of conventions to make our film suitable for the thriller genre. The first conventions of our thriller was the chase, as that was one of the excitement within our film. Usually in thrillers chase scenes occur quite often, they tend to use them as they alert the viewers, and build up tension, as the chase scene, has a villain and a hero, makes the viewers want to know if they'll survive. our 2nd convention which had a huge effect on the chase scene, is P.O.V, (point of view) shot. we used this so that viewers are able to see what the person being chased is going viewing. Not only that but we included tension music, doing so this builds the chase scene making it more tense, keeping the viewers on the edge of theirs seats. The third convention of our film is suspense , suspense is used to keep our audiences on the edge so that they do not get bored of the film and are always glued to their seats. The fourth and last convention of our thriller that we used was shock. This is used to sort of scare the viewer with an unexpected surprise making the viewer attempt to recall the events prior to the 'shock' to sort of put the puzzle pieces together and workout what had just happened.
