This video is all about the features and conventions of a thriller film. When I first discovered we had to create our own thriller film I had trouble finding the difference between a thriller film and a horror film. This clip helped me to develop this because after researching the conventions I could tell why thriller films were different from horror films or even action films. I realised thriller films are most tense, mysterious and contain more concealment. Also, I realised thriller films contain what is known as a "red-herring" or "narrative retardation" or even "enigma codes". All of these create twists and either lie or hide the truth to confuse the audience and only at the end of the film do they fully understand everything about all the characters and the plot of the film. This is a key separation of thriller films to other types of films. Although horror films are the most known genre for scaring its audience, so are thriller films but the difference is thriller films create fear within the mind and are aimed to make the audience think which is why they are scary whereas horror films are gory and make you jump, although can also have psychological twists.
