Conventions of thriller movies
What are thriller movies?: Thriller is a movie genre consisting of action packed, mysterious, full of suspense and anticipation plot in which the protagonist is constantly in danger which keeps the audience on the edge of their seats. An example of such movie is Taken where the main character is in unwanted danger which he has to fight throughout the film, using: guns, cars, fists and knowledge.
Codes and conventions of a thriller movie: The protagonist is usually someone with not so boring life which is related to some kind of criminal acts, danger or the law enforcement. The main character will be associated by the audience with someone who can get out of an oppression or danger quickly; he should be able to overcome danger quickly, yet not always flawlessly as that will reduce the tension within the movie.
The convention of the movie plot is somewhat similar to an action movie due to the amount of excitement, anticipation, suspense and even sometimes uncertainty.
Within the James Bond movies the protagonist consists of the codes that are associated with a main character in a thriller movie, as he is an unbeatable agent that constantly fights "bad guys" throughout.
It is also known that within the media industry in which thriller films are created money is being carelessly spent on blowing up cars, just like in the Fast and Furious movies where the convention of action is being fulfilled by car stunts and explosions which make the audience feel more tension as to whether the protagonist will come out of danger alive.
