Aditional Reseach- A detailed description into how to create a thriller

How to produce a thriller?

Develop a simple but cinematic story and script establishing the needed sense of danger for the main character and the other characters in the movie.
Common thriller story holds include suspense-filled chase scenes, "whodunnit" plotting that allows the audience to wonder who killed a character or who committed the crime in the story, shocking sounds and visuals that surprise the audience every now and then. This is shown within in our video when the killer pops up behind the protagonist in the bathroom scene. 


  • Solidify the characters in your story in order to justify how they react to the many conflicts around them.this is evident with in the psychological aspect of our protagonist, and the recurring dream he has in the end leading to his schizophrenia. 



  • Allow the camera to take on human qualities during the shoot by letting it roam around playfully in your various shots, also creates strong continuity, shown when the protagonist is scene fleeing the murder scene and also the point-of-view shot where the camera works like the eyes of the character. This allows the audience to share the same view of the scenes the way the character sees it.



  •   High variance of editing, tight and long shots, short and long takes and moving and stationary shots to visually provide an effective succession of images, emotions and ideas.



  • Use sound, music and silence to evoke the needed emotions in every scene. Generally, a loud bang after a long established silence with only the sound of footsteps heard creates a feeling of being restless, nervous, tensed or alarmed.
