What would be expected from a thriller ? - Maz

If I personally wanted to be thrilled, then I would like to see part of the story then slowly be led into thinking one thing would happen, when unexpected i would be thrilled by something very intense.
So there should be many factors to a thriller such as the following:

The set would be very dark or some kind of scary or thrilling type of lighting and/or the scene being very quick. The location must be relative to the thrilling, for example the continuous dark atmosphere in "The number 23" with Jim Carrey, and the small things like the wall that had all writing over it.

These random little scene are thrilling, as the audience is thinking "what is going on" !
The characters also have to be thrilling like Jim Carrey having all writing all over his face was freaky to the audience.


The dialogue of the thrillers characters has to be different, but dependent on the movies genre and settings, in the number 23, he says everything as if he is being thrilled by it, and is slowly going crazy, for example he looks at the clock and if it says 23, his expression changed completely and he is very paranoid.

There are other ways to thrill the audience too, with simple props such as a knife or a very old book, with suspenseful music whilst it being shown, like in the movie, number 23, both of these props are used, to have a thrilling influence to the viewer.
