Thriller!

Defining a Thriller

A thriller includes a lot of suspense and most of the action and happening within the film are based around the theme of suspense. The micro elements also follow this trend such as sound, editing, mise-en-scene and camerawork.

The genre thriller is often confused with horror, but there is a slight difference. A horror is made up of a lot of gore, dark images and thoughts and it usually includes one or many deaths from the beginning. Whereas a thriller builds up to a murder or crime and it does not actually happen and this is where the suspense in created.

Sub genres of a Thriller
Supernatural Thriller- e.g Paranormal Activity
Sixth Sense

Sci-fi Thriller- e.g Star Trek

Crime Thriller -e.g Seven
Godfather

All of the below are called hybrid genres as they are a mixture of two genres;

Drama Thriller
Adventure Thriller
Action Thriller
Romantic Thriller
