Whilst looking at the thriller genre, we studied the films 'Children of Men' and 'The Usual Suspects'. after looking at these films, we discovered that sound, mise-en-sene and editing camerawork all contribute to creating a successful thriller. mise-en-sene, (meaning everything in the diagesis) is used to clearly tell the audience the plots of the films and also what is important to the narrative of the story. camerawork is used to make sure that the audience always notices the small hints which class the film as a thriller. editing also character's reactions to thrilling occurrences throughout the film. lastly sound, whether it be diagetic or non diagetic, all combines together to make the viewer feel a thrill. for example, the diagetic sound of women crying when watching the radio broadcast, makes women especially watching the movie, think about how painful it would be to not be able to have children. Ambient sounds like background footsteps, synchronous sounds such as a creaking door and asynchronous sounds such as voiceovers are all effective also.
