Thriller conventions

Conventions
narrative centers around a crime.
Binary opposites- protagonist - Lead  - Moral
                             Antagonist - Villian
 Protagonist will often have a weakness - this is often referred to in the title
Protagonist will often be seen in peril
Complex web of clues/ questions - Loads to the protagonist being isolated
Themes of mistaken identity mirroring illusions
objectifications of females
viewer becomes voyeur (voyeurism)
Micro-elements build suspense
