The document discusses conventions used in the film "My Bloody Valentine" and how they were employed in the author's own production. It describes scenes showing the intimidating mining location where killings could occur; the use of low-key lighting to create suspense and allow jump scares; and lighting at the end of a tunnel implying safety. It also compares shots of the killer's mask and a scene where the killer comes up behind a victim, noting similarities and some differences in how these conventions were used by the author.

1. Here it this first scene shown in the trailer it shows a convention that we have used in our production. This convention is showing
the main location of where the killing is possibly going to happen and also where the killer might be hiding. In ‘my bloody valentine’
they have probably tried to make the location as intimidating as possible and also as large as possible so that there is a large variety
of what can be done with the horror film. In this scene it also shows the speed and intensity like it does in our film. The camera
pans left to show the whole of the mining site show how large the site is. The use of lighting in this film is also a key by making the
site appear dark showing that it is possibly a hidden site. It also creates suspense for the audience.

2. Here in this scene it shows another convention which is used in our productions. The use of the lighting in this film is key to make it stand out as a
horror and slasher film. By having a low key lighting this gives the film suspense and fear to the audience. And it gives the film possibilities to include
jump cuts where the psychopath comes out from now where and attack possible victims. Another convention in this scene that we have tried to use in
our production is also the lighting for the light at the end of the tunnel that the miners are in. This convention shows that there is still a way out and
also that at the end of the tunnel where the is connotes that is is safe and not dangerous because you have a clearer vision.

3. Here is another convention which is quite similar but not identical to how we have used it in our production. Here in this
shot from a scene in the film it shows the killer’s mask which is covering his identity. This shot lasts for about 1 second so the
audience only see a quick glance of his mask because there is a possible chance that it could give the audience clues to who
the killer is, so the identity is not shown for that long so people do not recognise anything. In my production you see the
mask of the killer for about 4 seconds as he kills his victim. So this convention is similar but not identical.

4. Here is another convention which is quite similar to one that we used in our productions where the killer comes
round the corner behind the victim and then the victim sees the killer and looks in fear. In this scene the shot stands
out because you can online see a black outlined figure of the killer.You do not need to see the detail of the killer from
this shot because you will recognise that it is the killer from the head torch and also the axe in his left hand. Just
because the killer is 30 feet away it does not mean that you are not in danger because some way the killer will catch up
with you. In my production the killer comes from behind the victim and the victim then looks behind and then tries to
get away.
