- CGI is probably the most important development to the thriller genre as more spectacular things can be created for the film. Such as aeroplane crashes, explosions, disasters and anything that is not easily achieved in real life. This has created more breathtaking and heart stopping movies which create high octane images that people may not usually see. For example, a disaster thriller such as "The Day After Tomorrow" would not have been possible without the use of CGI.
- Camera's that are used to film have also improved, so a clearer, and more interesting picture can be created. This can be used to draw the audiences attention in and also make the film seem more realistic. The picture can be made to look different. For example, a film can be changed from black and white, to sepia and the contrast can be changed easily.
- Travel throughout the world has improved greatly since the beginning of the century, so therefore films can span throughout different areas around the world. For example, the thriller "Jumper" features many different countries (Egypt etc.) which creates a very interesting and engaging viewing, as you are constantly imagining where the next place will be.
- The sound recording used now is a lot more engaging than earlier films as it is clearer and can also be made to sound fantastic because many different layers of sound can be used. For example, in a war scene of a film (Saving Private Ryan), many realistic sounds are used together, all layered over eachother, to create the realism of a real battle.
