3. Choice of sub-genre
SUPERNATURAL ( Paranormal)-I decide to choose this particular
sub-genre because it was not chosen as much in A level horror films .
.Therefore, it would challenge our group to come up with new and original concepts .
These are things such as new camera shots , an original idea, new techniques to
creating the supernatural etc.
.Furthermore this would be a refreshing new concept for the examiner
.Our group have watched more horror films in this sub genre then any other,
therefore, I have a better understanding of these films

4. 5 Films from the sub-genre
1. Sinister
2. The Conjuring
3. The Others
4. Insidious
5. The Sixth Sense

5. Conventions of sub-genre
SUPERNATURAL- Demons or ghosts are usually the causes of terror as seen in
Sinister
with the monster who posses the child
.Usually the place where the people are have disturbing backgrounds for
instance in Sinister the house’s former owners hung themselves
.Usually they find a forbidden artefact about the unknown which usually inspires
the monster or demon to be awakened such as in Bubbadook
.Vulnerable people are usually taken last to build up tension as seen in Insidious
.Deaths that occur include disturbing gore as seen in The Shining

6. IDEA
The movie will start in a suburban house at night . A teenage boy is relaxing and
doing some work with the headphones in . He hears a strange noise downstairs and
goes to check it out . From there we see 3 miss calls to his parents who have not
arrived home yet. He goes downstairs and he grabs something from the fridge with
his headphones in and then without him noticing ,doors start to close and objects
start to fly off the book shelfs without anyone moving them. Then, when he gets back
to his room he hears the door bell and heads back downstairs . Then he sees the
front door wide open with no one there .Then when he moves to the kitchen he sees
blood on the floor leading to a figure which he makes out to be his father. Then from
there the person turns around with bloody scars in their face and eating someone
then the film stops

7. Conventions
The conventions for my idea relate to the conventions of supernatural
horror in the following ways :
. The victim is vulnerable and the last person to be taken .
.The figure who the son sees has been possessed by demons
.The house seems to be haunted by the spirit or ghost as well , as shown
with the books and photos falling off the shelves without anyone touching
them.
.The death shown at the end of the film with the supernatural being eating
someone relates to the graphic deaths that stereotypically occur in
supernatural horror films

8. Narrative Enigmas
.The narrative enigmas that occur in this film
are:
.Why are the objects falling off the walls and is
a spirit or ghost or demon in the house ?
.Why have the parents not picked up the
phone?
. Who is the person at the end being eaten?
.Why is the person possessed?

9. Targets
Targets I want to complete for this film are:
.Convincing and intimidating look for the demon being
possessed, therefore the fake blood and other features
must be convincing and realistic
.An opening sequence that creates narrative enigmas and
intrigues the audience
.A film that is interesting but also can be understood by the
audience.
A variety of camera shots
