This document outlines lessons on researching and understanding conventions of the horror genre. The goals are to understand horror conventions, create a visual diagram for a horror DVD cover, and research fonts and images related to horror. Students are instructed to create a mind map of horror film conventions, research common horror settings and make a mood board, and design a DVD cover visual diagram with elements like the film title, central image, and actors. They also choose a central image and film name, find font inspiration, and make a story mountain describing the film's events.
