Code and Conventions of a thriller

                         Red Eye 2005 by Wes Craven



In this sequence it clearly shows how the antagonist look like. it used close-up to show his face expression and used shadow lighting on his face, to emphasize the dark side of this character.
This film contained non-diegetic sound is use to scare the audience when we see the antagonist outside the door, this build tension to the audience.
diegetic sound is used to show the movement and action code is used to emphasize victim trying to gasping for air and running away from the antagonist and this create tension to the viewer.
Omniscient narrative and continuity editing is used to show the action sense.
Close-up of victim face expression showing she suffering.
It have used 360 degree rule in this scene to show the movement between the two character. 
the mise-en-scene in this sequence we can see is take place inside a plan toilet and it have a low soundtrack in the background, the reason is because the both character is whisper in the toilet, so we can hear there dialogue.
The other conventions in this sequence it have used a cheap surprise when the victim open the door and see the antagonist.
In this thriller sequence the antagonist is represent as a working class white male and abnormally normal killer, this identify a element of a thriller.
The sub-genre in this sequence is include crime and action in this thriller.
The main editing is used cut, is because is in a invisible transition, to show is in a continue movement.
Then we have shot revers shot showing two characters talking.
