Thriller

(Task 1)

It is difficult to have a thriller genre alone these days. Mainly thriller is made out of characters which look tough, mostly men. The surrounding is mostly a city, tropical island or sometimes sewer. The story includes a protagonist versus antagonist. In the process of the good guy getting the bad guy a family member, loved one or a close friend maybe involved and be held hostage or get killed. This way the story line makes sense. There are a lot of hybrids like horror thrillers, action thrillers, sci fi thrillers and so on. This happens because the main genre: the thriller is mixed with sub genre elements. For example the scene in Fight Club where the narrator’s (Tyler’s) boss finds a peace of paper with all the fight club’s rules on it. Seconds later you see narrator’s actions become sort of threatening. Or the scene at the end where the narrator finds out that Tyler is actually imaginary and that narrator’s thoughts and feelings can generate Tyler’s actions. These sequences thrill you and make you more interested in the film. It spices up the audience’s curiosity. Sometimes psychology works as a sub genre for the thriller to really grab you and boost the tension. Some of the secrecy and mystery can be created with some close ups.
