Interview for Typical Characters in a Thriller Film

We asked three different people about the typical ideas and conventions for a Thriller Film. The results were similar and give us a rough idea of what we would like to do for our own opening 2 minutes for a Thriller Film.

What we get from analysing the three interviews are most thriller films have a protagonist and an antagonist. The Protagonist mostly wear formal clothing, to represent the prestige and power that the character conveys, and the antagonist wears mostly informal wear, such as casual clothes, or all black clothing, this gives the sense of mystery for the audience, and keeps the thriller entertaining and suspense filled.

We also got from the interviews that Thriller films are normally antagonist verses protagonist, which adds the sense of suspension and tension with in the film
