Research:Narrative Themes and Plots.

Themes are the elements that are present in a narrative, that make the audience feel a certain way. An audience would expect to see specific themes within the genres. For example, you'd expect to see marriage in a romantic comedy.
Themes are reliant upon the genres because that way,the movie will make sense. If the themes and genre don't really match, then the audience will get confused easily.
Some of the common themes in thrillers include:
-Revenge
-Kidnap
-Rape
-Lust
-Death
-Murder
-Obsession
-Hatred
Each of these themes are all elements that make up thriller movies. As most of these themes occur in real life, it makes the movie that much more scary to an audience, as they will associate the events within the narrative with real life.

  1. Chloe, evev though the information you present in this post is accurate, there is not enough analysis.

    To improve;
    -identify s a few more genre and discuss the themes present within it
    -do themes in thrillers also depend on the sub-genre? How so?
    -include a few thriller trailers, preferably from different sub-genres and identify some of the themes that are present within them
    -conclude with ideas of some of the themes you plan to use in your thriller
