Do films follow rules?

some film-maker will clam that "there are no rules" or rules are there to be broken. However, most would agree that there are certain conventions that mainstream film observe in order for them to be acceptable to the mass audience.

Here are some of my thriller rules:

• Cliffhangers
• Exposion
• Dramatic music 
• Plot twist 
• Theres a chase 
• Tension 
• Suspence 
• Kidnapping 
• P.OV 
• Mind games 
• Fight 
• Has to be in a city 
• Cool gadgets
• Hero 
• Villain
