Thriller- initial ideas


In this lesson I came up with some ideas about my thriller sub-genre which is crime.


  • Narrative- actual or possible crime and attempts to solve the crime
  • Iconography- photographs of missing person, maps, police?
  • Characters- teenage girl (missing person?) 
  • Setting- urban settings (alleyways, streets)
  • Style- dark lighting, flashes, silhouettes
