There are many different narrative theories that can all be adapted and linked to things, Pam Cooks theory was that things should follow the plot of having a beginning, middle and end to it, where as my Thriller does not as it shows what's caused the worry/problem at the end rather then the end because it causes the audience to carry on watching.
Kate Domaille's theory was that every story can fit into one of eight narrative. Orpheus the loss of something is the one that fits into my Thriller as the male receiving the package is the one who has lost his wife and the male who has given the package is the one who has been jealous of the male having the girl and himself not.
Claude Levi's theory is that there's opposites so the audience can see who is the good guy and the bad guy. This also allows the audience to compare them with each other. My Thriller has opposites as the husband wanted to get his wife back when the other male had kidnapped her.
Vladimir Propp's theory is regardless of the differences they share things in common such as, suites, props, location and theme. My Thriller the actors are dressed in suites. The location is in a town/city. The props are similar to the props in other Thrillers.
Tzvetan Todorov's theory is that there are stages which contain, equilibrium, disequilibrium, recognition, action, restoration. This mean that there are these different stages through the Thriller. There are different stages through mine as it starts calm and then goes in to worried and builds tension.

To improve:
For each paragraph conclude whether this conforms to a traditional narrative structure and why this is os/the purpose
Make a judgement as to whether your Thriller was a post modern production and why - do this in your thesis statement
"... is the good guy and the bad guy' - antagonist and protagonist, use more academic language
