Sub Genre

As a group we looked at different sub genres for thriller films, some of these sub genres were:

-Psychological: In which (until the often violent resolution) the conflict between the main characters is mental and emotional, rather than physical. External and Internal. 'Fight Club'

- Action: In which the work often features a race against the clock, contains lots of violence, and an obvious antagonist. These films usually contain large amounts of guns, explosions, and large elaborate set pieces for the action to take place e.g 'Mission Impossible'



- Crime: This particular genre is a hybrid type of both crime films and thrillers that offers a suspenseful account of a successful or failed crime or crimes. These films often focus on the criminal(s) rather than a policeman.'Reservoir dogs'



- Political: which the hero/heroine must ensure the stability of the government that employs him. 'Seven Days of May'



- Disaster: In which the main conflict is due to some sort of natural or artificial disaster, such as floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, volcanoes, etc., or nuclear disasters as an artificial disaster.'Knowing'



We have decided that for our thriller, it would go under the sub genre of a Psychological thriller. The main character has an internal struggle with everyday life. We chose this sub genre as we thought it would be exciting and convenient.
