The video was all about the different techniques you can use in terms of writing a plot or screenwriting a thriller genre.
The first technique was how you connect love to the thriller plot and there are two ways in which you can do it:
The first way is that you make the protagonist have a decsion to make which is faith vs scepticism (thier faith in love). The choice is that the hero has and it is ususally a women in a thriller:
She could make the leap of faith in love and believe in total love but risk being murdered because the lover may or may not be a killer. A perfect example of this is the film What Lies Beneath (2000) is a film where the husband of the woman wants to kill her due to the fact that she found out that he has killed a girl who he has had an affair with . The other way is the she could fail to make the leap of faith and protect herself but the thing about this is that she would lose the great love of her life. A good example of the is Salt (2010) where to keep her identity the woman's lover was killed infront of her which sparked her hatred of everyone.What this first technique does is give love a life and death that is a stakes and thriller audience really likes it.
the second technique is there are to lines that you need to think about when making a thriller these line are the personal line and the crime line. In this second technique you have to show the heros unique need would be sloved in the act uncovering the crime which means that you connect the heros personal line with the crime line.
An example of this is the film Taken (2008) due to the fact that it is personal because they have kidnapped his daughter and crime because kidnapping someone is illegal.
