Conventions Of A Horror Film.

Due to watching various different opening titles and trailers on horror movies it is now easier to see what conventions that they use. 




Why I believe horror films are made.

• To entertain but also frighten us at the same time.
• To make our worst fears into real life. 
• Cause tension and worry. 

How film makers use camera shots and music to make a film scary. 

• High and Low shots can imply fear or violence. 
• Point of view shots as you are seeing it from their perspective. 
• Using a heart beat as music. 
• Sounds such as footsteps which you cannot see. 

Where they are usually set.

• Abandoned places e.g derelict buildings. 
• Woods.
• Typical houses or estates. 
• Less fortunate areas.
