DEFINITION OF THRILLER
A definition of a thriller is a novel or film with an
exciting plot this would normally involve crime or
actions with a hint of something that could be seen
as scary.
EXAMPLE ONE

been released. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVt32qoyhi0
Lucy is an action, sci-fi thriller because a thriller film is based on suspense. Action is therefore an necessity and therefore it helps build the suspense. Lucy is the
protagonist who has been caught up in the middle of the Antagonists plan.
EXAMPLE TWO
Taken is an action, crime thriller which is based on the
idea that a father has to tried and find his daughter who has
been kidnapped in Europe.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZ02_Uzf7SoThe narrative within a thriller film tends to consist of a steep incline in suspense and then the climatic scene where most of the action takes place, then the the protagonist would beat the antagonist in which the suspense would then decrease to the same state it was at the beginning of the scene.
EXAMPLE THREE
Se7en is a Drama, mystery, thriller, when two detectives
hunt down a serial killer who use the seven most deadliest
sins to carry out his murders.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4YV2_TcCoEThe themes within a thriller film would be the story of good vs evil, as most thrillers tend to play on the viewers minds. The issues would be that the Protagonist can sometimes be viewed as the bad guy based on their actions.
PROPS
In the film taken there are loads of different types of
props used during the film, this is because the genre is an
thriller which is built on suspense and therefore by
including props within the film add my tension to the film The key elements of taken is that Liam Nelson is an experienced ex agent and therefore when his daughter get kidnapped he has to bring out what he has learnt in the past. This is ironic because the job that ruined his marriage is the job that he has to use in order to save his daughter in time. Therefore guns have to be used a lot during the film, which also adds more suspense.
SOUND
