To make a successful suspenseful/thriller film; it needs many aspects. I did some research on what makes a suspenseful/thriller successful and here's what I learned!
Every suspenseful/thriller movie needs to have a great, engaging story. I haven't established my plot yet, but I know that I have to make it complicated and intriguing. My character/actor has to be somewhat miserable. He needs to show that there is something wrong with him, his life, or his surroundings. He needs to have a facial expression that makes him look like there is a struggle in his life. The actor cannot say his miserable, but he needs to show it through emotion and actions.
The movie also needs to teach the audience something intriguing. Either about the leading actor, the setting, the antagonist, and or the plot; there has to be something about them to engage the audience into wanting to know whats ahead and want to continue watching. Finally, the movie must have high pacing. Every scene will have to reveal something new. It can be anything from small irrelevant items that fit into the plot or essential elements that are crucial to the ending or the plot.
