1) A novel, play, or film with an exciting plot, typically involving crime or espionage
2) A very exciting contest or experience
So what makes a Thriller
Well a thriller, much like the definition suggests is a story containing elements of suspense and an exciting plot, that usually involves crime, for example a film about a bank robber or a film that follows a detective investigating a string of murders, could be considered a thriller.
Conventions of a Thriller
.The storyline is usually a complex mystery/crime/series of events that the protagonist(s) must unravel or reach the end of to reach a conclusion
.The antagonist is usually more powerful than the protagonist, the power dynamics must be unequal
.Suspenseful most of the way through
.Low key lighting, subtle
.Music to accompany the suspenseful atmosphere
