Thrillers usually have many codes and convention in them however these are just the typical conventions and some thriller films can subvert these as to be more niche.
A thriller usually consists of a battle between the protagonist character and the antagonist, when there is a disruption in the equilibrium. The antagonist typically is a murderer or criminal. The aim of the protagonist is to restore justice while the antagonist seeks to destroy it.
The typical codes and conventions of the thriller genre are as followed:
-Low key lighting
-Quick cuts
-Shadows
-Tension music
-Changes in angles of shots
-Diegetic sound of music
-Black and White shots
-Montage of shots
-Protagonist fighting or escaping from protagonist
I will research into each of these in more detail later on.
