Sub-Genres

Thriller

"A crime at the core of the narrative (often murder, but not always)"

So, when i blogged this convention in the previous blog: Thriller Conventions, i thought about Sub-genres which means a genre that includes other elements of other genres.

Crime Thriller: "This particular genre is a hybrid type of both crime films and thrillers that offers a suspenseful account of a successful or failed crime or crimes. These films often focus on the criminal(s) rather than a policeman. Crime thrillers usually emphasize action over psychological aspects. Central topics of these films include murders, robberies, chases, shootouts, and double-crosses are central ingredients." [Wikipedia]

Action Thriller: "In which the work often features a race against the clock, contains lots of violence, and an obvious antagonist. These films usually contain large amounts of guns, explosions, and large elaborate set pieces for the action to take place. These films often have elements of mystery films and crime films but these elements take a backseat to action." [Wikipedia]

Horror Thriller: "In which conflict between the main characters are mental, emotional, and physical...What sets the horror thriller apart is the main element of fear throughout the story. The main character(s) is not only up against a superior force, but they are or will soon become the victims themselves and directly feel the fear that comes by attracting the monster's attention. " [Wikipedia]

Therefore, there are many thriller that have different elements of other genres in them. This could be applied to our Thriller, which we are in the process of producing, however, we must distinguish it more of a thriller element.
