Thriller research

Thriller - Every so often you read a story book or what a film and it stuns you. One which keeps you glued to the screen until the film is finished. Everything moves really fast and there is action happening on regular occasions. You feel every jolt until you hit the final unfolding climax which leaves you exhausted.

Thrillers often take place in exotic settings such as foreign cities, woodlands/ jungles, polor regions or out at sees. I feel this is becuase it makes the audience feel out of place becuase it is not in their usual enviroment so it makes them nervous. The main characters are tough men who are used to danger and fighting and are often alone to make the audience more nervous.
Thrillers are often watched by the younger generation but also watched by older generations. This is because the younger generation thrive for action, speed, suspense and excitment. They get these from thrillers, as you should expect a good thriller to be full of action and constant adrenaline filled moments. Thrillers nearly always involve violence as the viewers are hungry for violence which keeps the film flowing.
