7 Generic Conventions of Thrillers 8

The Generic Conventions of thrillers are varied as a thriller can contain pretty much any plot, but the idea is to entice the audience with confusing plots and mystery. Although generic , the thrillers main job is to confuse and have ambiguity. This therefore would surprise the audience, and not follow their first suggested conventions. These surely are the generic conventions of a thriller. In our thriller short we are having an evil character who is a vicious killer obsessed and possessed by Satan. We are also having two girls going camping, this is very reminiscent of film like The Blair Witch Project. Unlike The Blair Witch Project we are film in a third party view. This is to separate our short from being a horror, in that we do not intend to scare the audience, but thrill them.
