Introduction to the thriller.

What is a thriller?:-  A Thriller provides a certain rush of emotions, excitement, sense of suspense and exhilaration that drive the narrative. In this genre, the objective is to deliver a story with sustained tension, surprise and a constant sense of impending doom. It keeps the audience cliff-hanging at the "edge of their seats" as the plot builds towards a climax. Thrillers tend to be fast moving, psychological and threatening, they will have chase scenes and at times involve larger scale villainy such as espionage, terrorism and conspiracy, alongside action.


For the past few weeks, my class have been focusing on this genre, we've split into groups to create a short opening to a thriller film.

I have 4 people in my group:

Tyler (Myself)

Georgia 

Jahquani

Kemika 
- Our group have made use of having 4 members therefore we have agreed on assigned roles to help speed up and organize the planning of our thriller.
Tyler - Organizer of thriller (Story-line maker and behind scenes organizer)
Georgia - In charge of research methods

Jahquani - Reviewer each element of the roles
