Thriller Genre Mood Board

On this Thriller mood board are photos that relate to the thriller genre. All the pictures above link to the thriller genre in one way or another. Most of the pictures seen are in dark scenery with a dark and gloomy background. This here suggests 'thriller' because it is all about the building up of tension in thriller films, and a dark background creates suspense as it is quite unnerving for the viewer.

One Thriller convention is a dark alleyway setting. As you can see, I have included this as one of my images because a dark alley often indicates foreboding danger and that something bad is about to happen as they are secluded a small.

I also added words that are associated with the thriller genre and I thought that I would do this because these are also key things that make up the thriller genre along side all the other visual conventions. I also think that these three words are the main things to consider when watching or creating a thriller movie. In a thriller movie, we will always witness the protagonist in some sort of danger, there are always moments of suspense that have you on the edge of your seat which is why I included the words 'danger' and 'suspense'. The final word is plot twist as it is plays a key role in any thriller movie. When the audience is put under the illusion of the fate of the characters, the plot is steered in another direction, making the movie exciting and interesting. It also means that viewer is intrigued and wants to keep watching.
