Make a post explaining what you would expect the conventions of the thriller to be?
discuss.
-Sets, locations, characters, narrative, dialogue, props.

"Action thriller: In which the work often features a race against the clock, contains lots of violence, and an obvious antagonist. These films usually contain large amounts of guns, explosions, and large elaborate set pieces for the action to take place. These films often have elements of mystery films and crime films but these elements take a backseat to action." - Wikipedia.

The location of a thriller is usually set in the city or town to add to the fast pace of the film. The majority of the characters in thriller movies are mainly men. Because there is usually allot of action in thriller movies, the props tend to be weapon related. Narrative usually includes money, sex, violence, drugs.
