Daniel Chandler
"Conventional theories of genre tend to be based on notion that they constitute particular conventions of content"
The quote that Daniel Chandler is saying is that the conventions within a genre are to be believed that they are the content such as the narrative retentively being the same for each genre. For example within most psychological thrillers the narrative will mostly be the characters battling their own minds attempting to determine what is real, who they are, and what life's purpose is or the characters may be threatened with death, be forced to deal with the deaths of other, or fake their own deaths.
Film examples are:
Black Swan
Shutter Islands
Gothika
The butterfly effect
These films narratives all have a protagonist that has some sort of lost control and is going through a life journey to solve their problem.
With our film narrative we will go along with Daniel Chandler's statement by also containing conventions related towards thriller such as the own narrative being about a protagonist whose mind is not stable also going through a life journey.
