Thriller is a genre that is used in literature, film, television and video gaming. Thrillers often consist of overlapping sub genres which is another genre within the main genre. For our thriller our sub genre would be action thriller as we have used props such as a gun which is stereotypically know as aggressive. Other sub genres are:

Thrillers are known to have fast pacing, consistent action but main thing of all a character with is the protagonist and a character who is an antagonist - a hero and villain. Stereotypically the female character in a thriller is always the character which is in trouble, defenceless and unable to fight off the villain. Thrillers always have a background music which aids in building up suspense and tension for viewers. In our 2 minute opening sequence to our thriller we have gone by the conventions of a thriller by adding background music which is slow, very upbeat but helps aid in building the tension and suspense in our sequence. It is said that thrillers are often set in deserts, abandon houses, foreign cities but also high seas. The overlapping of mysteries storied are used a lot in a thriller
