Martin Rubin wrote a popular book titled Thrillers, in which he tries to define what is mean't by a thriller and what a film must constitute in order to be classified by the genre Thriller. His study very basicly states that a Thriller is a 'meta-genre' and is a very broad term to classify a film as it does not inform audiences of the narrtive/themes but vaguely informs audiences on the approach taken in direction.
A thriller attaches itself to genres such as horror, action, crime, spy etc, although thriller cannot be a sub genre to any other genre for example genres such as musicals, war, western etc.
All thrillers provide an emotional intensity for the viewer. Feelings/emotions which are commonly drawn are apprehension, exhiliration, excitment and breathlessness (feelings which are commonly associated with a 'thrill')If a thriller is not creating these fundemental emotions within the viewer then it's not thrilling, threfore not doing it's job.
With this we can't base our Thriller on a thriller alone we need other influences. We already have the drama inspiration from the British film industry and our group is keen on trying to create a physcological thriller (with narrative twists and enigmas)
