For example, a tracking shot, this gives the viewers the illusion of the person being followed, it creates tension in the viewers minds.
Furthermore,  a lot of high angles shots are also used in thrillers this shows the characters venerability also a high angle works against the low angle shot which makes the character look superior.
in addition, thrillers usually use cross dissolve shots, this makes the illusion of the person in the film walking for a long while, basically it shows the passing of time. The shot reverse shot is also common in thrillers, this could be used with the point of view shot, if a person is walking a shot reverse shot would show his facial expression while it shows him walking.

Another convention is the sinister music, this is a non diegetic, it creates fear in the viewers eyes, furthermore its only heard by the viewers its not heard by the characters in the film world sinister music shows sense of fear in the viewers mind, it makes it seem as if danger is occurring.
