Common props that symbolize horror include religious icons, weapons, masks, and forensic/police items associated with violence and death.

Thriller conventions
This document discusses conventions commonly found in thriller films. It explains that conventions are technical elements that signal to audiences that a film belongs to a specific genre, like using low lighting to create shadows. It then describes some key aspects of thrillers, including vital settings that add suspense, intelligent villains and vulnerable victims, and popular themes involving science experiments gone wrong, investigations, and haunted places. An example film, 28 Days Later, is discussed for its use of shadows to heighten fear and inclusion of real media to feel realistic.
Conventions of a psychological horror
Psychological horror films aim to scare and unsettle viewers through implying threats and menaces rather than directly showing graphic violence or gore. They create fear and suspense by playing on viewers' imaginations and fears of the unknown. Common conventions of the genre include dark, mysterious settings that feel realistic; unsettling sounds and music; characters that are not what they seem; low-key lighting that hides things in darkness; and weapons that harm the mind as much as the body. Popular psychological horror films like The Sixth Sense, Silence of the Lambs, and Sinister use these techniques to keep audiences on the edge of their seats.
Research into psychological horror
A psychological horror film establishes seemingly normal settings and characters to create an unsettling atmosphere. Characters are often left undefined at first to add mystery. The main character is usually a woman to emphasize vulnerability. Common character types include young adults, the mentally or emotionally unstable, goths, and detectives. Music, sounds of pain and suffering, and a slow, well-paced plot enhance tension and suspense. Low lighting, fast editing during dramatic scenes, and handheld camera shots further unsettle the audience. Common iconography includes haunted houses, symbols of death, masks, screaming victims, and phallic weapons.
Horror genre analysis.
The document discusses the horror genre of films. It states that horror films aim to shock and scare audiences through gory and disturbing scenes. The intended audience is ages 12 and up, as younger viewers could be psychologically damaged. The purpose of horror films is to feature a threatening force that the protagonist must overcome, conveying messages about facing one's fears. For a horror film to be successful, it needs to scare the audience. While techniques have advanced, the goal remains to shock or unnerve viewers.

Conventions of psychological horror films
Psychological horror films focus more on disturbing the mind than showing graphic violence. They expose common human fears and vulnerabilities in a subtly unsettling way. Settings for these films are typically very normal and familiar places like houses, schools, and hospitals so audiences can relate to the characters' situations. Sounds used don't always match the on-screen action, increasing unease. Weapons in these films are usually supernatural or psychological tricks rather than physical objects, manipulating the mind to inflict fear. Characters who inflict horror often appear ordinary with nothing to obviously identify them as the source of evil until it's revealed.
Conventions of Psychological horror.
Psychological horror films focus on audiences' deepest fears and disturbing their sense of reality. They typically take place in ordinary, everyday settings like houses, woods, schools and hospitals to seem realistic and allow audiences to imagine themselves in the story. The killers often appear normal initially but are surprisingly revealed to be dangerous, messing with viewers' minds. While weapons may be present, psychological horror emphasizes the twisted antagonist's manipulation of victims' minds through fear and mind games over physical violence. Contrapuntal sounds are also used to intentionally disorient audiences.
Friday the 13th analysis
The poster depicts themes of good vs. evil, nightmares, serial killers, and slasher horror through its imagery and use of lighting. The villain is positioned centrally and portrayed as strong and intimidating to heighten fear. Symbols like the machete weapon and isolated forest setting foreshadow violence, murder, and a sense of being trapped. Colors like red are used to connote danger and draw attention, while the title plays on the superstition around Friday the 13th to intrigue audiences. Overall the poster employs standard horror iconography and techniques to advertise the film as adhering to slasher conventions while challenging stereotypes through its physically imposing villain.
Is Saw A Horror Or A Thriller
The document discusses whether the film "SAW" is better classified as a thriller or a horror genre film. It provides definitions for each genre, with thrillers focusing on suspense, mystery and keeping the audience on the edge of their seats, while horrors aim to frighten and invoke primal fears through disturbing imagery and shocks. While "SAW" was marketed as a horror, it incorporates elements of both genres by using graphic horror imagery but also relying on suspense and mysterious plots typical of thrillers. The document argues "SAW" created a unique hybrid style that blended conventions from crime fiction, horror and thriller in a new way.
Psychological thriller poster
The document discusses conventions used in psychological thriller film posters. It provides two examples: the poster for Black Swan and the poster for Orphan. For both posters:
- The main image focuses on the protagonist's face to emphasize the mind of the characters.
- Dark colors and low lighting create an unsettling atmosphere.
- Reviews, actor/director names, and release dates are included for marketing.
- Imagery and text are purposefully designed to intrigue audiences and hint at themes in the films around ambiguity and good vs evil.

It provides examples of camera techniques, lighting, sound, themes, and iconography that horror films employ to disturb audiences.
Genre Study
The document discusses key genres, codes, conventions and settings commonly seen in horror and thriller films. Horror aims to evoke fear in viewers, while thriller uses suspense, tension and excitement. Common horror elements include blood, vulnerable victims, bad weather and chases. Thriller films employ suspense through quick cuts, flashbacks and shadows. Isolated settings like forests, hotels and cabins are frequently used in horror to render victims helpless. Props also play important roles, especially weapons that define killers' identities. Victims in horror films are often teenagers with a backstory explaining their targeting.
Thriller sub genres
There are many sub-genres of thrillers that vary slightly based on the specific elements incorporated into the narrative. Some common sub-genres include conspiracy thrillers which involve a protagonist confronting a powerful enemy, crime thrillers that focus on criminal activities like robberies and murders, and drama thrillers that have slower pacing and involve emotional development of characters. Other sub-genres are disaster thrillers centered around natural disasters, psychological thrillers dealing with mental conflicts, and religious or horror thrillers involving religious or frightening elements. Erotic thrillers incorporating erotic themes also became popular in the 1980s.

Tv crime drama csi
This document summarizes conventions of the TV crime drama CSI. It aired on BBC1 on July 25th, 2010 at 8pm. The episode features Nick Stokes being kidnapped and buried alive in an underground grave. Gil Grissom leads the team in a race against time to find Nick. The episode has a dark tone conveyed through dark lighting and costumes. Music includes the show's theme song "Who Are You" by The Who and references to the band. The target audience is young mature adults aged 25-30 who enjoy cliffhanger stories. The show is promoted through DVD collections, advertising on TV channels and in magazines.
Psychological horror characters – in depth
This document provides character summaries for four characters from psychological horror films:
- Detective David Mills from Se7en is described as tough but affected by the crimes he investigates, leaving the audience to wonder who he is tracking.
- Bagul from Sinister is portrayed as a villainous antagonist who consumes children's souls and can travel between realms, making him seem very evil.
- Samara Morgan from The Ring starts as an innocent girl but has a dark backstory involving drowning and adoption that creates sympathy for her character.
- Cole Sear from The Sixth Sense, a 9-year-old boy who sees dead people, creates relatability and sympathy as a child dealing with paranormal experiences.
Genre conventions
Typical horror film settings include isolated, abandoned, or hidden dark places that people normally would not visit, such as abandoned houses, creepy forests, or warehouses. Horror films commonly use dark colors like black and red, as well as dark lighting and shadows. Key props include costumes, weapons, and other gruesome items that help identify villains. Paranormal horror films feature iconography such as ghostly symbols, unusual events in dark places, and "home video footage" to make the audience feel helpless.
What is horror?
Horror films seek to elicit negative emotional reactions from viewers by playing on primal fears. They often feature startling scenes involving macabre or supernatural themes. Over time, horror movies have evolved to reflect new generations' fears, from alien invasions after Sputnik to mutated creatures resulting from nuclear technology. Successful horror relies on effective use of setting, characters, sound, villains, and props to frighten audiences. Key elements include isolated locations, stereotypical character types like the "final girl," unsettling soundtracks, masked or inhuman villains, and disturbing weapons.
Primary audience research – horror survey
According to a survey of 40 college students:
1) Supernatural horrors were the most popular horror film subgenre.
2) Respondents preferred films where all characters are killed with no survivors.
3) Young adults and teenagers were the most popular age ranges for characters in horror films.
Psychological horror pp
Psychological horror relies on characters' fears, guilt, and mental instability to build tension rather than graphic violence. It explores common psychological vulnerabilities and fears in a subtle way that makes audiences uncomfortable by exposing repressed parts of the human psyche. The threat in psychological horror comes from within characters rather than outside forces, exposing the evil that hides behind normality. The Shining is an archetypal example, with Jack Nicholson's slow descent into madness as the hotel caretaker becoming increasingly unsettling and climactic as he becomes the real menace, despite supernatural elements in the film.
Differences between thriller movies & horror movies
Thrillers and horror movies differ in their psychological effects and depictions of violence. Thrillers rely more on plot twists and psychological elements to intrigue audiences, while horrors emphasize graphic violence and gore. For example, The Sixth Sense uses mysteries to unsettle viewers' minds, whereas Nightmare on Elm Street depicts brutal killings. Additionally, thriller movie posters suggest mystery through dark colors, whereas horror posters signal danger with red tones. Both genres aim to scare, but thrillers do so by raising questions in the mind, and horrors through sudden shocks and frightening images.

- 2. Location Setting for a horror film is key. If the setting is good, it can present an amount of fear among the audience unlike any other, without displaying anything else. They are usually in an isolated place such as small communities, dark streets or run down places. Large cities, forests, countryside or anywhere which shows isolation among the characters in the film. This presents them as being alone and amounts to the fear. They are also often places with history, for example, an asylum, an abandoned house or old hotels. This is key for establishing the genre among the audience as it allows them to see where the film is going to take place. Insidious Evil Dead (2013) - Setting

The use of non-diegetic music can create atmosphere, while having none at all can make the audience feel isolated. Using Foley Sounds help exaggerate a point and build suspense.

Diegetic sounds can be enhanced to allow tension to build while fast and loud non-diegetic can make the audience jump or feel scared. One of the most notable use of sound in horror was during the Psycho shower scene, it is now thought to be one of the most stunning and horrifying scene of all time.
- 4. Props Many props and the iconography depend on the context of the horror film. Many props the audience associate with horror films consist of: Religious Symbols – crucifixes, bibles etc. are great for some horror films as they symbolise the opposite to the devil. These are used to show a defense from god. Weaponry – are usually the way of the characters being killed, they can include; guns, knifes and blunt objects to show pain. Masks – to hide the identity of the killer. Iconography could also include forensics uniforms, police cars, blood, devils, ghosts and paranormal activity.
