A thriller movie has many conventions. These conventions make the film give the audience a sense of thrill and fear and tension and a wide range of feelings. Some of these conventions include the use of shadow in a movie. Shadow and darkness are a key code in thriller movies as this gives off the fear effect. (people afraid of the dark)
Flashes such as lightning or flashbacks are also a convention in thriller movies. The black and white effect create an atmosphere that the scene isn't positive and that it gives off a negative vibe. An example of a short film such as this would be 'Unwanted Attention'
The movie is about a woman and her child getting stalked by an unknown prescence. The film is in black and white and there are many conventions such as the graveyard and how she is alone with her child at the park.
There are some effects which create tension in the audience. I myself expierenced this. The sound has also helped to create a sense of fear.
Another example would be 'Asleep'.
This movie had a lot more views as it had more conventions such as a villiain in a typical thriller film. It was more professional. The movie had a lot of non diegetic sound and better quality of camera.
A third example would be 'The Keepers Wife'.
This film has a bigger sense of fear as thr storyline is hard to identify from the beginning. There is a lot of shadows and darkness and the man being the villian in the movie.
