thriller definition



Definition Of A Thriller


Thriller is a genre of literature, film, and television programming that uses suspense, tension, and excitement as its main elements.Thrillers heavily stimulate the viewer's moods, giving them a high level of anticipation, ultra-heightened expectation, uncertainty, surprise, anxiety and terror. Films of this genre tend to be adrenaline-rushing, gritty, rousing and fast-paced.
A thriller provides the sudden rush of emotions, excitement, and exhilaration that drive the narrative, sometimes subtly with peaks and lulls, sometimes at a constant, breakneck pace. It keeps the audience on the "edge of their seats", akin to a sensation of hanging from a cliff, as the plot builds towards a climax. literary devices such as red herrings, plot twists, and cliffhangers are used extensively. A thriller is usually a villain-driven plot, whereby he or she presents obstacles that the protagonist must overcome.
Common subgenres are psychological thrillers, crime thrillers, erotic thrillers and mystery thrillers.Another common subgenre of thriller is the spy genre which deals with fictional espionage. Successful examples of thrillers are the films of Alfred Hitchcock. The horror and action genres often overlap with the thriller. Thrillers tend to be psychological, threatening, mysterious and at times involve larger-scale villainy such as espionage, terrorism and conspiracy.

genre research of opening sequences

In this task I decided to look at three different types of thriller films to get a broader idea of conventions and help me to keep an open mind about the sub genre (if any) i decide to choose. I looked at James Bond quantum of solace as its a well known and has a good film rating around the world suggesting that the conventions of this are very likeable to a variety of audiences around the world. My second and third posts are from the films seven and limitless I choose theese two as they where both recomended from a variety of people and both i thought where very exiting and gripping.
