Thriller Techniques

Thrillers have two significant thriller openings ; False Plateau and Bomb Theory. False Plateau is more else like " a boy who cries wolf" The audience have been lulled in by given a false sense of security. It works through visceral effects- we are made tense throughout exceptions then made to relax then a SHOCK!!!!
For example in saw two boys are playing about and try to trick the people on beach by pretending to be a shark. Everyone is allured and everyone is safely on sand, There are officers with guns pointing to the shark but soon to find it was the two young lads. Who were actually scared. Whiles this is happening. A actual shark has come near to shore and knocks a guy of a boat. But once the others spot it. It was to late the shark had eaten him.


Secondly, a Bomb theory "Alfred Hitchock" believed the that the audience should know more than what the characters do. Because of this it makes them more engaged. For intenseness there would be a actor standing near a bomb but doesn't realise it on the other hand the audience can see it and end up shouting at the screen to move and try to inform the character and lead them to safety.
