In a thriller film you would expect to see a struggle between the protagonist and the antagonist when a disruption occurs in the equilibrium. The story then follows a series of events creating suspense for the ending. The protagonist is there to restore justice and the antagonist is present to destroy it.
The typical conventions you would expect to in a thriller are: high and low angle shots, black and white shots, low key lighting, quick cuts, shadows, tense music and protagonist in the mercy of the antagonist, photographs characters playing on each others minds, mirrors. The mirrors are used t show a reflection of the soul and the darkness within them. Flashbacks are used to show disorientated time which confuses the audience.
