Most thrillers follow a set script in order to be classed as one. Here are the most common conventions:
Setting: Busy environments in urban or suburban areas
The Plot: Is often very complex and is pieced together as the story goes along, it's the job of the protagonist to figure it out along their journey. The final explanation would be very rational regardless of however long it took to come to that point.
Tone: Often a crime has/will occur and they usually have a high level of tension, suspense and excitement.
Protagonist: Seen as an outsider and quite often alone but very brave and willing to give up what they have. Hero-like
The Antagonist: Works to put the Protag. in jeopardy, however they often share very similar characteristics. (Background and past) hidden identity and is slowly revealed as the film progresses. Their motive is usually a revenge plot.
Key Elements: Low Key Lighting, Tense Music, Montage of shots, B&W shots, props (guns, weapons)
