Recipe For Thriller
Thriller is a broad genre of films, literature and television that includes numerous and often overlapping sub genre. For example, twilight, Shawn of the dead and Batman which are combinations of horror and thriller.
Thrillers are characterised by fast pacing, frequent, action and resourceful heroes who must thwart the plans of the more powerful and better equipped villains.
Devices such as suspense, red herring and cliff hangers are used extensively. A thriller is a villain driven plot, whereby he/she presents obstacles the hero must overcome.
Red herring : when the plot of the films has been twisted to create suspense. For example, in the film 'Thor', we first thought Thor was the villain but really it was his brother.
Cliffhanger: when we are not told the full story of a film at end. For example, in the film 'Captain America' when captain america was about to fall.
The thriller genre is flexible and can engage the audience through a dramatic rendering of psychological, social and political intentions. Hitchcock said "thrillers allow the audience to put their toe in the cold water of fear to see what it's like"
