recently i conducted an interview with a teenage boy who was 17 years old. i asked him what he thought a thriller was, what the conventions of a thriller film were and ask him what he thought of the thriller genre.
what do you think a thriller film is?
A thriller film is a movie that has lots of mysteries running throughout the story. a thriller film will have in it at some point, death crime or abuse (mental or physical) lots of thriller films have multiple story lines and have lots of red herrings to off put the audience from the main storyline which usually has lots of enigmas which are puzzles which the audience needs to solve and the main character in order to figure out who the main antagonist is.
what are the conventions of a thriller?
A typical thriller film will have lots of puzzles to solve (enigmas) and lots of red herrings which will distract the audience into thinking something eg that the who the antagonist is. the antagonist (unless clearly stated) is always a surprise to the audience. also a typical thriller will have murder in it from both the antagonist and protagonist.
What do you think of thriller films?
i like thriller films because they keep us (the audience) guessing about the plot and the antagonist's motives. i will always try and watch thriller films as they are exciting and enthralling. my personal favourites are LA confidential and psycho.
