Classic thriller analysis

This clip complies to many common thriller conventions such as the tense soundtrack this is used to make the audience feel in suspense which keeps them interested in the film. The film goes very dark around the sides of the screen this focuses us to the center of the screen where the characters are, this adds a certain feel of mystery to the film which is generally required in a thriller. The action in the film, where the protagonist is jumping from rooftop to rooftop chasing the antagonist is also very tense making the audience on edge wanting to know what will happen to him, especially when the protagonist is hanging from the gutter. This leaves us wondering whether he will survive, having these two characters in this scene also is a convention of the thriller genre as there is a good guy and a bad guy.
