As we will be creating opening sequences to our own thrillers, it is useful for us to know exactly what a thriller is. It is difficult to state a clear definition of a thriller because thrillers cross over many genres. Some of these genres include horror, political, sic-fi, crime and many others. Sometimes these genres can combine with one another to make something called a hybrid. Thriller revolves around anticipation and suspense. The aim of Thrillers is to keep the audience alert and on the edge of their seats. The protagonist in these films is set against a problem - an escape, a mission, or a mystery.
Some of my favourite thrillers include Argo (political thriller), Pulp Fiction (crime/drama thriller) and Vantage Point (political thriller).
As you can see, I personally am fond of political thrillers as they create a interesting environment for dramatic conflict and in no other genre is status utilised so well. This may explain why my first idea and the idea we have thus far chosen to go with is also a political thriller.
