Conventions of a thriller

Conventions of a thriller
 
 
The protagonist/s (main character) deals with death, their own or someone else's.
 
The main storyline for the protagonist is usually some sort of quest.
 
The main plotline focuses on a mystery that must be solved.
 
The film's narrative construction is dominated by the protagonist's point of view.
 
All action and characters must be credibly realistic/natural in their representation on screen.
 
The two major themes that underpin the Thriller are the desire for justice and the morality of individuals.

One small but significant aspect of a great thriller is the presence of innocence in what is seen as an essentially corrupt world( Binary opposition).
