Thrillers conventions:

Enigmas
This refers to a puzzle, something mysterious or inexplicable or a riddle or difficult problem. In thrillers this is commonly something which the protagonist has to try to find out or solve before the narrative is resolved and the film finishes.

Red Herrings
A read herring is the name given to a device which intends to divert the audiences from the truth or an item of significance.

Cliffhangers
Sometimes, although not always used. Often feature a main character in a precarious or difficult dilemma, or confronted with a shocking revelation. This can entice the audience to keep watching in order to see how the situation resolves itself.

Drive
A mysterious Hollywood stuntman, mechanic and getaway driver lands himself in trouble when he helps out his neighbor.

This scene is near the beginning, it is dark, the only lights is the street lamps. There is no dialogue in this scene, the only talking you can hear is on the radio and its the basketball game. When the police chase the car, it is fast pacing cuts and there is a few tracking movements. 
 There is also lights from street signs of clubs and traffic lights, the music is quite up beat with the action and the mood of the scene. The Street Lights suggests night life and they can be associated with the basketball game that was happening at the same time.
  When he parked in the car park, he made it at a specific point where the basketball was over and there time won and it became very business so he wouldn't have got caught.

Jaws, is full of suspense and shock for the audience. As there is suspense when people get in the water and the audience know there is a shark in the water but the characters don't. There is shock when a body pops out of no where and scares the audience and the characters.

No Country for Old Men
The opening scene on this film is a kind of contrast as a man is arrested for murdering a 14 year old girl and then he is in the police offices and then he gets out of his handcuffs and kills the police officer. There is no music in this scene, there is dialogue with the narration and when the officer is on the phone. It is quite bright, there is a few cuts and then there is fast pacing cuts when the man is killing the officer.
No Country for Old Men is a 2007 American thriller written and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen, based on the Cormac McCarthy novel of the same name. The film stars Tommy Lee Jones, Javier Bardem and Josh Brolin, and tells the story of an ordinary man to whom chance delivers a fortune that is not his, and the ensuing cat-and-mouse drama, as three men crisscross each other's paths in the desert landscape of 1980 West Texas. Themes of fate, conscience and circumstance re-emerge that the Coen brothers have previously explored in Blood Simple and Fargo.
