Mind Map 2: Our Choosen Genre

Here we created what we thought would be needed within the genre of a thriller. We decided on using thriller because we thought that it would be something in which we show our creativity. Also we agree that it will be the one genre we could have the most fun with making and editing. The group also decided that this genre would help us show our best abilities.

A thriller is a genre in which the audience feels a high amount excitement and suspense. Also they receive a sudden rush of emotions and exhilaration for the film to continue. Also some thrillers raise a lot of confusion and questions; which are gradually answered as the film continues.

Thrillers can be split into sub-genres:

Conspiracy Thriller: Were a hero/heroine confronts a large powerful group of enemies whose true intentions only she/he knows.
Crime Thriller: This a hybrid of thriller and crime. They often focus on a criminal or crime and concentrate  on the action.
Disaster Thriller: This includes a disaster either man- made or natural. This sub-genre generally focuses on the events around the disaster: survival strategies and the effects on the characters.
Erotic Thriller: This is a mix between erotic and thriller films.
Medical Thriller: This is when a medical team is struggling to find a cure or to control a dangerous medical problem.
Psychological Thriller: This is character-based and the character are playing games and deceiving one another. Sometimes it occurs in one of the characters own mind.
Political Thriller: The character must ensure the stability of the government against all odds.
Religious Thriller. This can be based around religious teachings and events. They often include evil being released and prophecies.
Romance Thriller: This follows many thrills and events in which a relationship and passions comes in with two of the characters.
Spy Thrillers: Usually has a character who is an agent that must take violent actions against other agents or terrorists.
Supernatural Thrillers: This includes a supernatural power that must be called upon, or were there is a battle including a paranormal force. These are often confused with horror, except thrillers are less violent.

Many thrillers are often created with a different sub-genre and often a few sub-genres can merge into the one thriller. This then will create something new and give a completely different thrill ans suspense, which maybe new for the audience. Thus making it appealing.
