-Typically a thriller uses a lot of close ups, this is due to the conflicting feelings shown in many of the genres films, this use of the close up shows these emotions very vividly, making them a lot more affective on the viewer.
-Another shot type that has been used in the past is the tracking shot, this follows the action/focus of the scene, this is used in thrillers and action film, this is due to the fact tat many of the scenes are very fast paced. As most of these scenes are very high tension the focus must be maintained or the audience will lose interest.
-The mise-en-scene is usually very dark and cold, this helps to make the thriller genre full of tension and it makes the viewer ask questions. The darkness of most thrillers also connotes to the viewer a very dark theme, as death and sadness are main themes in most thrillers this is to be expected.
-Most of the thrillers i have been watching use death as a key theme, this is most definitly a convention of a thriller, the death is heightened by tension that is often created by the previous scenes in the film.
