Developments in the thriller genre

The genre of thriller has always adapted to meet the needs and demands of the audience. In the 1930s the popularity for the on screen 'gentleman detective' grew, featuring smooth witty men wearing fresh suits facing exotic adventures. In modern day the adoption of an exciting fast moving plot is deemed to be more enjoyable than a plausable storylines. The Bourne Supremecy (2004) is a modern day action thriller which presents the character as an action junkie who finds himself caught in a number of car chases and high energy fight scenes; a strong contrast to the characters of the 30's.

CGI is a development in film used for visual effects because computer generated effects easier to control than techniques such as making miniature models for effects shots or hiring more extras different shots. It alows un-imagineable shots with other technology capeable of being done. The use of CGI makes film making easier and to a certain extent cheaper as expensive sets do not need to be created.
