The Generic Conventions of a Real life Thriller

The Generic Conventions of a Real life Thriller

Music to reflect the characters state of mind
Don’t show the bad person
Enigmas
Paranoia
A character with a psychological flaw
Twists
Flashbacks
Subtle horror
What could happen – Not what does
Cliff-hanger
Women – vulnerable

In the opening:
Characters location
Visual style
The characters flaw
