Blog post 14- genre conventions

Genre Conventions

Conventions are things that usually happen so genre conventions in films are things that you would typically see happen in that type of genre. Our chosen genre is horror.
 
 
The conventions in this picture is the darkness of the forest it looks far away from anywhere safe and looks like not many people go here also the lack of leaves on the tree makes it look dull lifeless therefore it gives the impression that bad things happen here. This plot typically happens in horror films.

The conventions in this picture is the haunted house and how dark and abandoned it is, it looks extra spooky because the lightning and the dark night sky in the background, also the broken windows and cobweb gates make it look more scary. This is also a typical plot you would see in a horror film.

The conventions in this picture are the characters creepy disguise which is very common in horror films as we know they are the frightening character. Another convention is the bloody knife which is also typical to see in a horror film as we suspect a murder has happened.
