GUESS THE GENRE:

           

Thrillers
A thriller is a genre of a literature, film and a television programme, which usually contains suspense, tension and excitement. It normally contains a resourceful hero, a better equipped villain, a McGuffin, cliffhanger and a background music which goes at a very fast paced which causes adrenaline. This is especially used when it comes to the trailer of thriller movies, this is so that it can catch the eye of the audience so that they are intrigued by it and then they can go view it in the cinema. The red-herring in a movie is used to misguide the audience from the main plot and allows them to believe something else it about to occur. And then there is the McGuffin which drives the plot forward but has little significance.

The most common thrillers were made by the film director Alfred Hitchcock as he is known as the 'Master' of the thriller genre. He has made the most popular thrillers such as Psycho, North by Northwest and The Birds. In media we will be analyzing more thriller movies in more depth, and we will also be making one of our own.
