We were given a lesson to establish the meening of the word "thriller", when relating to film genres. We discovered that there are many types of thrillers. To name afew:
Crime/Gangster Thriller.
Physcological Thriller.
Mystery Thriller.
These are all sub genres that fall into the genre. "Thriller" can be described as a meta-genre. We looked at the film "Pyscho" directed by Alfred Hitchcock in 1969. We discovered that this film used many techniques to shock and horrify audiences that set the bar for the genre.
