To give us more insight on what our thriller should include to build up suspense, we decided to watch even more of the master of suspense in Alfred Hitchcock. In the opening extract of this thriller, Hitchcock has a boy who is carrying a bomb but he is not aware of this as his brother in law has given him a package which the boy believes to be harmless. Us as the audience know the bomb is there but he doesn't, Hitchcock builds suspense as he boy gets distracted on his adventure to get the package to it's designated place.
Hitchcock shows dramatic irony in his methods of suspense as on the package, it has the words 'Birds Will Sing at 1:45' which means that the bomb is due to go off at 1:45 which makes us keep looking at the clocks which Hitchock emphasises on to build up the tension. Will the bomb go off before the boy makes it to his destination, you'll have to watch on to find out.
