Film Genre is defined by its codes and conventions & these must be present to make a film a genre film but should involve some aspect of innovation, subversion &/or inflection ( otherwise it becomes a formula film). Generic conventions can be to do with sound, editing and mise-en-scene. Particulary in thrillers they will include things such as:
- Eerie/tense music, silence, exaggerated sounds
- fast paced cuts, obtrusive editing, jump cuts
- low key lighting, strong directional lighting or chiaroscuro
to fulfill its main elements (suspense, tension and excitement).
