Genre Conventions

We tried to make our thriller unique but also used other conventions which we have picked up through our previous research into thriller films.
We have taken some of our genre ideas, from films such as:

• I Am Legend, because of the atmosphere and surroundings of the whole film. The plot is similar because everyone has disappeared.


• Flightplan, because of the dark, mysterious atmosphere. Although the plot is not the same at all.
  

Here are some conventions that we used in our thriller:

• A build up to the action
• Creation of fear
• Establishing the mood and atmosphere quickly
• Delay showing all the information to the viewer
• Creation of suspense using music
