evidence of how our plannig fits with research.

Genre conventions and our production

How our film relates to standard horror conventions

Camera shots:

Our film has multiple camera shots that relate to the horror genre. An example is the high angle shots which will be present throughout the piece, especially in the first few shots in the interview room at the beginning of the piece. We also utilise depth of field in the corridor scenes to create suspense as people move a lot more slowly in these scenes. All of these shots are widely utilised to create tension and increase immersion within horror films and we plan to use them to the best of our abilities.

Cinematography:

Lighting is by far one of our most important factors we need to incorporate into our theme. We plan to film in the dark, to create an atmosphere of fear and tension much like camera shots are used for. Every horror film ALWAYS incorporates dark lighting so not having it would be hugely detrimental to our final piece.

Characters:

We will have two characters present in the opening scene, and these adhere to modern horror conventions. We will try to utilise “the blonde”who inevitably dies first (who is Emma in this case) and also the heroine (who is Charlie-Ann) who represents purity and being a saviour. We will also briefly incorporate the iconic villain which is present in a lot of horror films, but only very briefly as we do not want to devalue the enigma code in the opening scene.

Location:

We plan to film at school, but at night when the school is empty and rather dark. This sense of subverted familiarity is a very scary concept as it changes the audience’s perception of a place.

Sound:

Our film will include exaggerated diegetic sound in order build up tension within the film and scare the audience right off the bat, and will also include short and brief non-diegetic sounds in order to shock the audience, both of these and standard conventions.
