- Thrillers use low-key lighting to create a creepy atmosphere, while romantic-comedies make use of high-key lighting to produce a happy environment.
Low-key lighting:
- Thrillers typically open on quite a dark mood, but romantic-comedies generally open on love-based drama.
- Thrillers reveal their characters slowly to create a sense of mystery, whereas romantic-comedies don't try to hide their characters identities.
Over-the-shoulder shot:
Medium close-up:
- Thrillers include faster cuts to quicken the pace, while romantic-comedies have quite long shots to generate a relaxed and calm atmosphere.
- Titles in thrillers are chilling, and are usually played while eerie sounds can be heard, and romantic-comedy titles are bright and played over emotional/cheerful music.
