Thrillers are a distinguished by the fast-pacing, recurring action and a protagonist confronting an antagonist. The villain is generally punished and the weaker, maybe better looking character wins the female or remains the last person alive. Thrillers often take place wholly or partly in exotic settings such as foreign cities, deserts or high seas. The heroes in most thrillers are frequently "hard men" accustomed to danger: law enforcement officers, spies, soldiers or aviators. However, they may also be ordinary citizens drawn into danger by accident. While such heroes have traditionally been men, women lead characters have become increasingly common.
House hold names for thriller films are films such as: The Godfather, Pulp Fiction, The Dark Knight, The Matrix, Alien, Clockwork Orange and Sin City. What these all have in common are that there is a good side and bad one also there is there is a lot of action throughout which appeals to all thriller genre lovers, there is also a sense of mystery between them.
Techniques of a thriller consist of the enigma code, which is mostly followed by the director in this code it is action throughout, mysterious scores, suspense and tension. The plotlines have a good character, a bad character and a resolution of what happens in a thriller situation, the good person always wins and the bad characters defeated, but are they?
The relevance to the films above to our opening scene is the fact of mystery and also we’re taking into account Alfred Hitchcocks idea of making the innocent character involved in something very big, in this case a murder.
