Codes and conventions of thriller films

Codes and Conventions of Thriller Films Presentation In this task I set out to discover what themes were mutually present in most thriller films, in order to have a better understanding of what I should use in my opening sequence to more identifiable as thriller film to my audience.

I also leaned that the antagonist of such films is also generally sadistic, brutal and psychologically disturbed.
