Final Task Introduction and Genre

Our film name is "Disruption !" It's a thriller based in present day.

Thriller is a broad genre of literature, film, television, and gaming that includes numerous and often overlapping sub-genres.

Thrillers are characterized by fast pacing, frequent action, and resourceful heroes who must thwart the plans of more-powerful and better-equipped villains. Literary devices such as suspense, red herrings and cliffhangers are used extensively.

Main Sub Genres:

Action thriller
Crime thriller
Disaster thriller
Drama thriller
Eco-thriller
Horror thriller
Legal thriller
Psychological thriller

• The heroes in most thrillers are frequently "hard men" accustomed to danger:
• They may also be ordinary citizens drawn into danger by accident.
• While such heroes have traditionally been men, women lead characters have become increasingly common.
• Thrillers often overlap with mystery stories, but are distinguished by the structure of their plots.
• Thrillers also occur on a much grander scale: the crimes that must be prevented are serial or mass murder, terrorism, assassination, or the overthrow of governments.
