Different Thriller Types

In today's lesson with Mary, we brainstormed the different types of Thriller. We found the following:

• Thrillers with action like 'Speed'
• Horror thrillers
• Innocent on-the-run plots
• Stealing someone's identity
• Supernatural thrillers
• Political thrillers
• Comedy thrillers
• Psychological thrillers (thrillers 'playing' with the mind)

As a classs we then analysed six clips from Thriller films. Whilst watching these clips we learnt a new term called 'intertextuality' and refers to how different kinds of films incorporate aspects of other films.
