In crime thrillers, there is usually fast paced, climatic music played to set the mood for the film.
The characters are usually dressed in dark clothes, and there is a killer/murderer. The thrillers themselves focus on the criminal(s), and the action is emphasised over the actual psychological aspects. Films such as these use a lot of tracking shots and natural lighting to focus on the moods and perspectives of the characters in the film. Such examples of films like these include "The Silence of The Lambs (1991)"
and "Hostage (2005)".
Action Thrillers
In action thrillers, there are usually a lot of short duration shots used to match to the quick movements and reactions to the happenings and situations that take place in the film, and the fast paced, climatic music is used for films of this sub-genre as well. Mid-shots will often be used to give a better view of the characters' responses and actions, and the jump cuts that are used make the characters' responses and actions more fast and fluid whilst still maintaining continuity. Natural lighting is used to add to the dark and unsettling mood portrayed in the films. Such examples of films like these include "The Bourne Identity (1988) and "The Transporter (2002)".
