Portfolio Project Genre #2: Thriller
Thriller is a genre in media that is meant to invoke a sense of anxiety and adrenaline in the audience. It commonly intertwines with the horror genre for its purpose to provoke feelings of suspense and sometimes mystery, however oftentimes thrillers are not trying to jump-scare you.
Common genre conventions included in thrillers are an unreliable narrator, crime, plot twists, red herrings, tense music, and many other elements that strive to build suspense and keep the viewer on edge. A thriller that comes to mind with many of these elements is American Psycho.
The techniques we plan to use are quick cuts and tense music. I want to create a score, at a minimum one song for this film opening, to increase the anxiety the viewer feels during the harsher scene(s).
