Conventions of a horror film
Lighting:
Low lighting is the main one to give a spooky feel in dark places. This is because it makes the viewers feel uneasy and worried about what may happen due to them not being shown a lot. It is also typically known to everyone that we should be more careful when on our own in the dark so we instinctively know that something could happen. There is usually a lot of bright lights in the dark places to scare the viewers.
Objects/Tools:
In horror movies there are types of weapons used to attack..
- The butcher knife
-Chainsaws
-Hammers
-Hooks
-An ax
- Unsuspected objects e.g. nail gun or scrap mental on the side of a road
Characters:
Hero-person who saves others
The killer-either a monster or a scary figure that is known for mental serial killings
Young children-sometimes the source of evil
A woman- who is taken or abducted (vulnerability)
The unexpected character- someone who we think is good but turns evil through choice or through being touched by the evil characters
