Various different uses of low level lighting in order to create the suspenseful and mysterious tone usually associated with the thriller genre.
Make-up
Limited amount of make-up in order to make the characters on screen more relatable for the audience.
Fear in women is usually expressed through smudged/damaged make-up in order to show that they may have been crying etc.
Props/Settings
Dark places such as haunted houses or a dark alley.
Spacing- Through using claustrophobic spaces the director is able to portray the 'entrapment' of the characters mind.
Clothing
Normal clothing is usually used in the thriller genre. This is used in order to try and create realism within a film and make the audience believe that this could be them in this situation.
