Conventional Themes And Narrative

Themes
Thriller films often revolves around anticipation and suspense. Thrillers often emphasize danger and often build to a climax. At some point violence will be a key point within the genre. Often the protagonist is a female and is shown as a vulnerable. The antagonist often leads the audience through a chain of events and at the end often achieves their ultimate goal.

Narrative
The narrative  of a typical thriller will usually be shown from the protagonist point of view, by using this point of view it allows the audience to empathize and almost become the vulnerable person. However other points of views can be used for example the antagonist as it can reveal to the audience why they are 'evil' or act the way they act, which similar to the protagonist point of view can create sympathy and the audience may possibly feel sorry for the villain or in extreme measures can feel guilty for their actions. During the narrative it will show a series of events which lead to a big finale event as a result of all the 'mini' events. Thriller films can often be deceiving and can often lead to an unsuspected result, which maintains audience interest
