Further Research...

Although there are various different types of Thrillers, they often share comman themes and effects, etc that allows the audience to identify the film as being a Thriller. Below I have listed themes which Thrillers are often based on as well as comman similarities which often feature in all Thriller films. This can vary from special effects, atmosphere which is created to objects or costumes. These are known as 'Iconographys'.

Themes & Iconography
-Crime
-Guns/Knives (weapons)
-Suspense
-Tension building music
-Chase
-neutral/dark coloured clothing
-Assassination
-Use of shadows
-Conspiracy
-Grim weather
-Spies
-Dark settings
-Puzzles to be solved
-Cars
-Terrorism

-Urban gritty settings
-Claustrophic worlds
