To get some ideas for our own thrillers, we created a collage of some different  typical cinematic techniques in the genre. From this research, it seems like low key directional lighting is very typical, and would be good to use within my own thriller. Additionally, I’d like to use some canted angles and tilts for that feeling of unease and panic within my audience.
