Use of Conventions

Our film is classified as a horror/ mystery drama. In horror films, short tales are used to create a fast paced scene that’s hectic and intensifies the mood. This allows the audience to feel how the characters are feeling.Throughout the entire film we used many over the shoulder shots to create suspense and foreshadow the danger coming. They let the viewer know what is happening, but the characters are clueless still. When we researched horror genres we found that there was a lot of ways to portray that bad guy. Our bad guy was a hooded man wearing black. This hid his face from the audience and made the scene more suspenseful. By using incidental music we created a gloomy mood and to create a sense of unknown for the audience.

Social groups consist of teenage girls who think they don’t need protection. They are independent and  are not very aware of their surroundings when they are all together. The issue presented is that they did not stick together and when one girl was alone, the stalker attacked. To prevent this the teenage girls should stay together no matter what even when the task is simple and seems safe.
