Sub Genre Conventions Homework

The two thriller films i chose were 'Jaws' as it is also based on a novel, this is the kind of thriller that relates to real life, a great white shark that swamps around and eats humans in the water its a 'supernatural thriller' its the thriller that will stick into peoples mind. I also picked 'The Dark Knight' which is a crime/action thriller.
A Supernatural thriller is where the film brings in an otherworldly element mixed with tension, suspense and plot twists.
Crime/action thriller's offers a suspenseful account of a successful or failed crime or crimes. These films often focus on the criminals rather than a policeman. Crime thrillers usually emphasise action over psychological aspects. Central topics of these films include serial killers/murders.

In both films, there is violence and death. 'The Dark Knight' could be said to have some physcological thriller elements to it. 'jaws' is just thrilling to watch as it almost shocks people as this could actually happen, where as other films are usually made up.




Movie poster shows a woman in the ocean swimming to the right. Below her is a large shark, and only its head and open mouth with teeth can be seen. Within the image is the film's title and above it in a surrounding black background is the phrase "The terrifying motion picture from the terrifying No. 1 best seller." The bottom of the image details the starring actors and lists credits and the MPAA rating.
