Typically, most
thriller films have a protagonist and an antagonist (good and evil) against
each other to create suspense and tension. The antagonist usually tries to
interfere with what the protagonist is doing and the storyline is normally
shown from the protagonist’s point of view, it is very unusual for it to be
from the antagonist’s point of view. This is because it allows the audience to
feel more involved in the film and therefore creating realism, however,
sometimes they show clips from the antagonist’s point of view which is to show
the audience how they act, and sometimes even allow them to feel empathy for
the character.
Thriller films also have quite a lot of action scenes, the
characters actions will be seen to be changing a lot, and this encourages the
audience to guess what’s going to happen next which creates more suspense
because the audience doesn’t know what’s going to happen next. As the whole
point of a thriller film is to keep suspense which means keeping the sense of
mystery for the audience, so when characters are talking to each other, the
audience feels they know what is happening however the full plot of the film
isn’t given away so they actually don’t know what is happening. This allows
there film to keep its mystery aspect which keeps the suspense and tension
there. There is also usually a relationship between the protagonist and
antagonist which is the antagonist’s motive to do something (depending on the
storyline) to the protagonist. This relationship is normally revealed at the
end of the film but sometimes it isn’t which causes the audience to be confused
and allows them to imagine how it’ll end.
We are going to combine our research for thriller films and mystery films to ensure we incorporate both genres into our films.
