Genre Conventions of our Film
Today, I will be breaking down all the ways our film will adhere to the conventions of our genre. In the film, we will be including lighting, composition, camera shots, sound effects, camera angles, camera movements, and the mise-en-scène normally found in horror/thriller movies.
Since our film is about a Serial Killer, it will include:
Camera angles: Over the shoulder (display the toys the murderer left behind over his shoulder without showing him)
Point-of-view (present the victim from the murderer's perspective before to his attack)
Dutch angle (dolls approaching the hallway)
Camera movements: Zoom (zoom into the trails' blood, zoom into the doll's eyes, zoom into the silhouettes on the wall)
Static photo of footsteps and toys
Whip pan (highlight tension in the room or hallway)
Dolly (create suspense by tracking the footsteps in the corridor)
Sound effects:
Thunder to build suspense and a spooky atmosphere
Footsteps to build tension and enigma
Fear and stress are created by creaking flooring.
Blood trails are formed by blood droplets.
Lighting: To provide a great deal of suspense, it should be completely dark with only sounds.
Using flickering lights to evoke stress and anxiety
Use spotlight lights to draw attention to clues such as blood trails and dolls.
Using shadowed lighting to draw attention to silhouettes
Composition: Using contrasting shots to highlight the dolls in the same shadowed frame
Negative areas to draw attention to items and evoke tension
frames that are filled to convey a sense of overwhelm
Camera shots: Intense close-ups (doll eyes, blood trails)
Close-ups (footsteps on the ground, dolls)
Medium shots (shadows, walls, and halls)
