A convention thriller is not a cliche because unliike a cliche a ocnventioni as a compnent something the audience understands and so will react well too, while a cliche is liike doing a convention in a tiered and well used manner. Conventions are good ways in connecting with the audience
In thriller, conventions include:
Protagonist is at mercy of the antagonist
A False ending- when its almost like the case is solved, but its really not. Speech in praise of the antogonist - often done by the protagonist and is used to build up the villain, even if the speech ultimately damns the villain.
cheap surprise - an easy shock generated by an sudden unexpected action/movement/sound
Make it personal - where the crime/plans draws in aspect of the protagonist emotions or life just to change the plot from a professional action to a personal quest. This can be taken even further by taking it from personal quest to make the protagonist also become the victim.
Theatre of the mind - when you intensionally dont show everything to the audience and force them to imagine some things with their own minds
Action Thrillers
In this genre the hero known as the protagonist is up against a villain. In this genre , the focus most often takes the form on a rational force (i.e not supernatural). The value at stake that is being struggled for is that of survival (rather than justice, those it can be a seconday value in the plot)
