Hybrid / Sub Genre Research

Thriller subgenres –

Action thriller
Adventure thriller
Sci-fi thriller
Crime thriller
Film Noir

These are the 5 move popular thriller sub genres. I can uses anyone of them for a more specific type of thriller, I have looked at them all in detail, but I like the effects of Film Noir uses different conventions that are not commonly used in standard thriller making Film Noir stand out as something a bit different and will keep the audiences attention and keep them excited.


Hybridization –

Action adventure thriller
Crime Horror thriller
Crime Mystery thriller

These are the three main hybrids that are used in thrillers. I have looked at the separately and now concluded that crime mystery thriller would be the best all rounder. This is because they are very similar, but also can be related to a thriller in how the make the audience feels in building up the suspense in a film. Hybrids allow the audience to get different characteristics from there own separate genre, but they come together to make a different thriller that targets a wider audience. This is why hybrids are so popular.

Thriller is a genre that I will be focusing on. However I must take into account sub genres and hybridization. In this case my group is thinking of using Film noir in the thriller. The reasons we have come to this decisions is that in Film Noir we would use all the conventions of a thriller but still have the ability of making it individual.
