Mind Map Of A Thriller Film

This is a mind map of what the conventions of a thriller film are, what's included and needed in this genre.
 When incorporating this into our films we used a lot of them as it was best to build tension in the film. With props in our final film, we used a torch for the character to shine around, this was effective because a lot of films incorporate this into as it brings across a lot of fear when having the scene shot in the dark without being able to see much of the surroundings.
With locations we went with an old fashioned large house, this is typically used in most horror/thriller films as they hold a lot of mystery inside them because it's so large the audience don't know what is going to happen.
For characters we used the stereotypical 'damsel in distress' where the innocent girl in white is being chased/haunted by some sort of presence. This was used because we thought it was best way to get the most audience reaction.
