When it came to planning for our film we made a list of the conventions in a thriller film. This was so that we knew exactly what we were doing and the type of guidelines we needed to follow so that is fit the genre correctly.
Information taken from Wikipedia:
"Thriller is a broad genre of literature, film and television, having numerous subgenres. Thrillers are characterized and defined by the moods they elicit, giving viewers heightened feelings of suspense, excitement, surprise, anticipation and anxiety. Successful examples of thrillers are the films of Alfred Hitchcock."

When looking at thrillers, we looked at the iconic scene from Alfred Hitchcocks film 'Phsycho' where the female is brutally murdered in the shower by a masked killer.
An extremely common theme in thriller movies involves innocent victims dealing with deranged adversaries, as seen in Hitchcock's film 'Rebecca' (1940)
From looking at this we decided that we wanted to have a hooded figure who was the killer and a young innocent victim who is running away.
