Transcript of Knowledge of genre

This is the first shots that we see. I feel like this suits the conventions, as it does yes show a girl, looking a bit vulnerable, which happens in most horror movies. Next is the colour and the brightness of the picture as you can see that is a dark picture, which represents the darkness and creepiness that is horror movies. Even the title that we have used, as you can see that it does suit the actual genre as if you look at it other horror credits they tend to use things such as this, as you need to be able to set the mood which I feel that this does

Here you can see that here is too different shots from our film and you can see that we have used the view of the killer for more added effect as it will make the person watching be on the edge of their seat, this is a thing that now horror films do. As it does help with setting the mood and the films now do start to use this, as if it is in our sub genre as well now.

If I use an example that does this, is scream as they have used shots from where their point of view as it keep the audience waiting for them to come out and where they are.

We have used many close ups on our film, as I feel like that when doing our research that we did find out that lots of these films did actually use these close up so I felt like that we needed to use something like this as it is something that is needed

I feel like this did match the conventions used as this is used in lots of these as it can be used to either keep the pace at what it is, or it is their to slow the pace down and make it feel like nothing will happen when it will.

One thing that I think that we challenged was that we showed the killer at about 2 minutes, as I haven't seen many films do this, as they leave them guessing for a while and they make it so that they have to wait and they are nervous to see what they look like. But we felt like this was the moment that he should get showed as we think that it was the right moment that we should but him here as it fits with the story that we have made and it fits to the ending!

Well from this you can see that we have used a phone call to the killer today, as this is actually becoming a convention in the sub-genre of the film we did. As they have used many phone calls in these, an example of this is in scream, where the phone call is actually used quite a lot. So we felt like that we should the phone call in there, as it was a main convention in films like ours.
