Thriller research

For background research into the Thriller genre of films we have watched various film clips on YouTube.
All the presidents men, enemy of the state and pelican brief are examples of the political thrillers, 22

psychological, political, action, crime are several examples of the sub genre in Thrillers.

The exercise of watching thrillers was very useful because it helped us to fully understand the genre of thriller and the sub genres as well. We learned that to be a good thriller a film has to fundamentally excite and torment us to an extent. We tend to take the side of the good guy in thrillers because it is him (or her) who experiences something (like a death of a family member for example) and/ or discovers a secret that the authorities don't want to be leaked.

Thrillers tend to be seen or played out through the eyes/perspective of one group.
