If thrillers were a tube map....

   The image above displays the "Lottie and Megan Metro Line"; a complex map of many thriller film "stations" and the routes or, conventions that link them together.
   For example, the red line is for the convention of a femme fatale, the thrillers that lay upon the line, therefore have a femme fatale. However, many of these thrillers/film noir also have a morally ambiguous character as well as a femme fatale. So, a new line is created, connecting them but also introducing new films (moral ambiguity, but no femme fatale). This carries on to create the map.
   Personally, I really like this way of presenting ideas (specifically to our topic, thrillers) because as well as being creative, the connections and links can be clearly seen.
