Thrillers.
What is a thriller?
A thriller is a broad genre
of film which uses suspense, tension and excitement as some of the main
elements in order to viewer’s mood by giving them high levels of anticipation,
expectations, suspense, action, terror and anxiety. Some of the main sub-genres
of thrillers include physiological, mystery and crime thrillers. A thriller
will often use techniques such as red herrings and cliff hangers.
Some examples of modern
thrillers:
What is a red herring?
A red herring is an idiom
which creates a sense of deception and misleads the viewer as it makes you
think that something may happen when in fact it does not. Red herrings also can
lead you to a false conclusion and creates a huge element of surprise.
What is a cliff hanger?
A cliff hanger is a plot
device used in order to get the viewer to return/continue watching as they are
anxious to see what is going to happen. A cliff hanger could have the viewer in
a sense of confusion and create high levels of anticipation.
