The thriller genre consists of many conventions all used to create tension within a film. The thriller genre is what we are focusing on as that is the genre of our final 2 minute sequence. Thrillers typically consist of short fast-paced cuts and handheld camera movements as they connote fast paced action. within the scene as well there are usually mise-en-scene elements that show action as well such as guns and other props that are associated with violence.
Genre conventions are things weather it be editing, camera work, mise-en-scene or sound that are associated with a specific genre. So for example a romantic comedy would have slow cuts, romantic sound over the video and the mise-en-scene would be flowers and smiling
Genres can have more specificities within them making them into a sub-genre, so for example, a film such as 'shutter island' (2010) is a psychological thriller and uses different elements of the thriller genre and tweaks them so it isn't all about violence and the sound is more used to create tension instead of the mis-en-scene and editing
