1) Introduction to Thrillers

To gain understanding of thrillers we have studied Hitcocks movies Rear Window, The birds, and Physco and looked at the various aspects and elements of how a successful thriller movie is created. After watching Rear Window and The Birds we wrote an essay on the comparisons of the techniques hitchcock uses to create suspense, tension and shock;

From doing this we gained the knowledge and understanding of the main important aspects which are needed in order to create a succesful thriller. For example the use of non diegetic sound is key in creating suspence and building tension, and the way Hitchcock focus' on insignificant aspects of the movie to create unexpected shock to the audience.
