The 40's witnessed Hitchcocks oscar winning film 'Rebecca'. Rebecca was filmed in black and white with the use of sound to help create suspense. A shy ladies' companion, staying in Monte Carlo with her stuffy employer, meets the wealthy Maxim de Winter. She and Max fall in love, marry and return to Manderley, his large country estate in Cornwall. Max is still troubled by the death of his first wife, Rebecca, in a boating accident the year before. The second Mrs. de Winter clashes with the housekeeper, Mrs. Danvers, and discovers that Rebecca still has a strange hold on everyone at Manderley. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0032976/) The film was filmed in black and white with minimal effects. Rebecca was adapted as a radio play.
1970 - 1980's
In the film Friday the 13th, Camp counselors are stalked and murdered by an unknown assailant while trying to reopen a summer camp that was the site of a child's drowning. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080761/)

The sixth sense is about a boy who communicates with spirits that don't know they're dead seeks the help of a disheartened child psychologist. The film was nominated for 6 oscars and won 32 awards. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0167404/)
The Sixth Sense is highly effective with a bare minimum of special effects. There is not a shot of the film that couldn't have been done 25 years earlier.

There are several actors and directors who have become famous through staring or directing thriller films. These included Alfred Hitchcock, director of Oscar winning film 'Rebecca' and thriller 'Psycho'. Psycho is Hitchcock's best-known film. It was produced on a budget of $800,00.
A present time actress, who has recently become well known through staring in 'Black Swan' is Natalie Portman. Since she starred in the film she has been in adverts, films and tv productions.
Looking at different thrillers, their plots and how they have used the conventions of a thriller have made me realise what I do and do not want to use in my own thriller. The main thing that every thriller through out time has used is sound effects and music. Even the most simple sound effects make the film have mountians of suspense. This is what I have taken to put into my own thriller.
