Thriller genre

The Thriller Genre mainly consists of the protagonist in a constant battle with the antagonist character. The distance between these two characters in the diagetic world begins to close, creating large amounts of tension and suspense for the audience. A common feature that follows is a chain of negative/  down spiralling events that add and increase the suspense for the climax. The protagonist character is usually seeking justice while the antagonist does all they can to destroy it.

Common conventions of the thriller genre may include:
-Quick cuts
-Parallel editing- this is commonly used between the protagonist and antagonist.
