Conventions of a Thriller

A thriller should provide the audience with thrills and keeps them of the 'edge of their seats'. Tension should arise when a character or characters are put in a life threatening situation, a mystery,or trap from which escaping seems impossible. All of these characteristics would leave the audience guessing how they are going to escape un-harmed.
Close ups should be used to give hints or to foreshadow what is going to happen later on in the film. The soundtrack or music used to accompany any shot should add to the tension leaving the audience to feel apprehensive
