What is a Thriller?

The actual definition of a thriller is a broad genre of literature, television and film which includes numerous and often overlapping sub-genres.
A stereotypical thriller would include fast pacing, frequent action and heroes used to defeat the generally more powerful and better-equipped villian.
However, some thrillers use more psychological technqiues, playing purely on the minds of the audience so that they feel an unnerving connection to the drama.
All thrillers use ranges in camera angles, lighting, sound, mise en scene and editing in order to build up their desired tension, sometimes creating an urge of panic. This is definitely necessary when planning our ideas for our own thriller film.
