The primary elements were things such as how we wanted the overall story and plot lines to run,even after to opening we made. For these we decided that the story line is a quest that can't be put to rest until solved and the plot was the protagonists journey to solve the mystery. we found out that the two main themes of thriller as the desire for justice and the morality of individuals. This 'justice' is often presented through he need to protect the object of innocence in an otherwise corrupt world ( for example many use the journey to find a child that's been kidnapped as a story line). Finally, thriller tends to be that either by accident or on purpose each character is dragged into a dangerous situation that they're not prepared to handle, this fitted well with the enigma of 'The Visitor' as no one really knew her full potential as a supernatural power.
the story and setting research that we did was based around the protagonist's ( the visitor) inability to escape. this was portrayed symbolically through the woods which, more often than not, everyone gets lost in and no mater what sub-genre of thriller our film falls into, it emphasizes the danger all characters in the film are faced with. there is also the chase scenes that area critical to the conventions of a thriller scene, the woods combines the urgency with both the danger of unknown terrain underfoot and the sense of urgency that is ever present in a chase scene. they need to have an atmosphere of creepy menace and sudden violence, to be characteristically 'thriller'. they also often present both he world and society that they're set in as dark,corrupt and dangerous.
our research into the basis of the thriller as a genre showed an overlap with the mystery and crime genres. the main difference however was the structure of their plots; in thrillers the hero has to stop n enemy rather than discover what's happened as in the case of the mystery genre. thriller crime films are often lacking in violence but this also depends whether the film is set around a particular crime gang e.g. the mafia, where the violence will be more intense.
