Why Thrillers Thrive worksheet analysis

In this worksheet, there are a lot of facts in it that are very informative about how thrillers are made to entertain their audience, as there are some examples of scenes from thrillers that follow this criteria, such as the scene in Hell's Angels where a character is about to crash his plane and there was even a sideshow where the audience was "thrilled" but in a way that made them feel like their security was being threatened.
Other examples of useful information that it provides relates to ideas such as "playing God" where the audience knows the terrible fates that are facing each of the characters, and "shocks" where films such as The Crusades used the idea of shocking their audience using falling horses. Overall, the worksheet is very informative of the various aims of thriller film sequences and examples where they have been used. It was also states that horror films are losing to the thriller films in terms of their popularity because most horror films make the audience feel uncomfortable and disgusted, whereas thrillers just aim to surprise and shock their audience.
