What makes a Psychological thriller.

Psychological thriller is another type of thriller and is the 'type' that we will be using into our final. We wanted to incorporate elements of mystery, tension and drama into our final opening sequence. To create this we carefully choose our angle shots and camera shots too, by having quick, sharp editing this will create suspense.. which is perfect! Our suspense in this psychological thriller will come from the two characters preying on each others minds, this will be made more vivid with physical expressions and actions they preform on screen.

Generally, thrillers focus on plot over characters, and thus emphasize intense, physical action over the character's psyche. Psychological thrillers tend to reverse this formula to a certain degree, emphasizing the characters just as much, if not more so, than the plot.


Here is an example of a recent Psychological thriller....
