Modern Thrillerse; Zodiac.

The film Zodiac, also contains many typical thriller conventions. When watching this film, i began to notice that the film contains the typical 'dark setting'. This puts the audience on edge immediatly, due to the fact that darkness is related to death, pain, violence, and the unknown. In the car scene of the clip, the two characters are dimly lit, which automatically hints to us that something bad is going to happen... this also builds suspense and creates an 'edge of youre seat', kind of tension, due to the fact that the audience doesn't know exactly what is going to happen.

The fact that we never see the face of the murderer, gives the audience the oppertunity to use their imagination and wonder what he/she looks like themself, which also gives the film a touch of suspense, due to the fact that if the audience can tell who the murderer is, they would be able to predict when somebody is about to get killed, however, the audience have to guess and predict themselves who and when somebody is going to get killed.
