Setting and Iconography 

Setting-  setting is a location where a film is being set and its conventional  to the genre it belongs to, if the setting doesn't go with the film then it will be confusing. Setting is important to thriller because it creates denotation and connotation so it make the move more conventional to its genre. For example a disowned house, abandoned hospital and narrow corridors are a common setting in horror films.
