Thriller Definition

Thrillers provide such a rich literary feast. There are all kinds. The legal thriller, spy thriller, action-adventure thriller, medical thriller, police thriller, romantic thriller, historical thriller, political thriller, religious thriller, high-tech thriller, military thriller. The list goes on and on, with new variations constantly being invented. In fact, this openness to expansion is one of the genre's most enduring characteristics. But what gives the variety of thrillers a common ground is the intensity of emotions they create, particularly those of apprehension and exhilaration, of excitement and breathlessness, all designed to generate that all-important thrill. By definition, if a thriller doesn't thrill, it's not doing its job. A thriller provides the sudden rush of emotions, excitement, sense of suspense and exhilaration that drive the narrative, sometimes subtly with peaks and lulls, sometimes at a constant, breakneck pace thrills. In this genre, the objective is to deliver a story with sustained tension, surprise, and a constant sense of impending doom. It keeps the audience cliff-hanging at the "edge of their seats" as the plot builds towards a climax. Thrillers tend to be fast-moving, psychological and threatening, and they will have chase scenes, and at times involve larger-scale villainy such as espionage, terrorism and conspiracy, alongside action.

Audience Feedback of Rough Cuts

The overall feedback from the audience we showed our rough cut liked our general idea for our thriller, most of the audience believed that if we kept what was in the suitcase and what the suitcases were for it would leave more on an enigma. The feedback was more helpful that we thought it would of been because we were going to tell the audience what was at least in the suitcase. The audience also thought that if the actors were a bit more formal it would make it seem more of an enigma because they would be meeting in a local area's park.

Tom Hyman: Actor, Director.
