Unusual murder/death – The killer is either unknown or known and is perceived as supernatural
My film follows this convention as the Other is an unholy supernatural being.
The title follows the horror genre – Blood splatter font etc.
My film will follow this convention once I am in the post-production.
Main characters – usually teenage or younger generally youthful
My film follows this convention as the main characters are teengers
Mysterious/unknown characters – Silhouetted characters, dubbed voices etc.
My film follows this convention as the Other is unknown untill near the end of the film
Heroism from the protagonist - Sometimes unsuccessful.
My film follows this convention as at the beginning there is an unsuccessful act of heroism as the male character doesn't save the female in time
Victim unprotected - Usually killed by the Other unless another supernatural force saves them
My film follows this convention as the victim of the creature at the beginning of the film is unprotected

This is all good stuff, but can you back it up with some film theory in order to demonstrate how you know that these are the conventions.
ReplyDeleteI know you have done this during your analysis of the three films you looked at, but just back up your points in this section with similar film theory quotes to strengthen this section.
ReplyDeleteMiss Stott is right. You need to adopt a more academic approach.
