Recee



Bluewater car park is a good place for a thriller film, this is because of the the size of it. Also it has multiple stories and blocks out light. This is good for a thriller as you could build suspense in a area like this.

Media 1.2.1



Sub genre

Phycological thriller - Narratives are usually non linear and are based on a character with a unstable mind set for example butterfly effect.

Mystery thriller - Links to crime and detective films, narrative is restricted. Story is normally a crime that reveals clues through out the film to keep the audience guessing e.g sixth sense.

Conspiracy thriller - Heroic figure set around a business location, this would normally have a powerful organisation involved e.g inception or shutter island.

Crime thriller - A crime thriller would have a criminal offence and the main character would either be a detective or a murderer e.g inside man.

Political thriller - Political thrillers are based on the government and prevention of war e.g V for vendetta.

Disaster thriller - The story plots around a natural disaster. And the main character would usually be a scientist.
