Conventions Of A Horror

Watching a hand full of Horror film trailers i noticed repetitive conventions with the trailers i watched.

.Film Companies involved are all put at the beginning of the opening sequence of the trailer

. A dialogue is always spoken at the beginning by the character or character involved.

. Deep dark noises are always made when scenes change along with screams and shouting from the characters/ actors involved.

. The scenes are all cut very quickly and are pacey, with camera angles always being close up or mid close up to show and portray the feelings of the actors, on just how scary the ordeal/situation they're in.

.Females

.The actors are always sweaty and of rough looking clothes to show what they have been through.

. Dim orchestral back line music is always playing over the trailer to represent the seriousness of the film.

. The camera movement always zooms in or around the scene. and panning occurs frequently within the trailers.

. The film trailer always starts of happy Then gets darker towards the ending of the sequence.

. Females in most horror stories are always the weaker target unless the female is the main character, in then which she is the surviving character that defeats the evil scenario/ordeal.

. Gore and blood are a common theme to see, or a substance that is revolting.

. There is always a group or couple that are linked in some way.

. The plot is always revenge, lesson learnt, or pure evil & Death.

. Horror Films always offer Social Interaction and Entertainment to there target audience.
