Genre research

I have chosen a thriller as my theme for the first 2 minutes of my movie for my media studies course work and here is research for the genre I.e Thriller.

What is a thriller?

Thrillers are a genre of literature, film, and television programming that uses suspense, tension, and excitement as the main elements.A common subgenre is psychological thrillers

Similarities between Thriller Movies!

Most or all thriller movies involve high amount of action and to some extent lot of blood, action and killing, a good example being James Bond. They normally have a good guy who is the hero who can do amazing stunts and has all the fancy gadgets and is very gentleman like who is normally which is not in al but most cases a special agent of some kind or does secretive work. The movies involve lots of women which adds to the effect of the movie and there is always a girl in the heroes life who is portrayed as a very ‘hot & sexy’ person.!

FAST FIVE

Vin Diesel and Paul Walker lead a reunion of returning all-stars from every chapter of the explosive franchise built on speed in Fast Five. In this installment, former cop Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) partners with ex-con Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) on the opposite side of the law. Dwayne Johnson joins returning favorites Jordana Brewster, Ludacris, Tyrese Gibson, Sung Kang, Gal Gadot, Matt Schulze, Tego Calderon and Don Omar for this ultimate high-stakes race. It is an action packed movie with every corner filled with exciting scenes which will blow you away and is considered as one of the best thrillers of the year!

HANNA!

Raised by her father (Eric Bana of Star Trek), an ex-CIA man, in the wilds of Finland, Hanna’s upbringing and training have been one and the same, all geared to making her the perfect assassin. The turning point in her adolescence is a sharp one; sent into the world by her father on a mission, Hanna journeys stealthily across Europe while eluding agents dispatched after her by a ruthless intelligence operative with secrets of her own (Academy Award winner Cate Blanchett). As she nears her ultimate target, Hanna faces startling revelations about her existence and unexpected questions about her humanity.Though in my view the movie is not a great one it still has the traits of a reasonably good thriller except with a slightly disappointing ending.

LIMITLESS!

Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro star in Limitless, a paranoia-fueled action thriller about an unpublished writer whose life is transformed by a top-secret “smart drug” that allows him to use 100% of his brain and become a perfect version of himself. His enhanced abilities soon attract shadowy forces that threaten his new life in this darkly comic and provocative film. A really interesting movie to watch, one that I thoroughly enjoyed being one of a kind and with a different storyline as the usual James Bond type films. A reasonably good story which keeps the audience on the edge of their seat throughout the movie and has some good suspense which is revealed at the end taking back with the audience a lot to think about
