Conventions of Thillers: Symbolic

The symbolic catagory includes Mise-en-scene, which covers costume, setting, props ect. The costume we used was symbolic to those of the stereotypes of our characters, the police men wore smart trousers, smart shirts and ties, but somewhat casually to represent them working alot, the killer wore boots, scruffy trousers, a T-shirt, a blood stained apron and gloves. Which is similar to other films in the Thiller genre:

Texas Chainsaw Massacre had a killer similar to that of ours.

Se7en has police characers similar to ours.
