Our film uses conventions common to thriller films like dark lighting, a story involving murder and stalking, and leaving the narrative on a cliffhanger. The villain, Haroldas, stalks and kills characters like the villains in "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle" and "Scream". During a killing scene, editing techniques like cut shots and continuity are used to build suspense, similar to films like "The House of Wax" and "Scream". Suspenseful music is also added to increase tension and cut during relief.

1. How Are The Conventions of Our
Film Like Real Thrillers?

2. Lighting
• In our thriller we have use dark lighting, to
give a scary illusion.
• The lighting in our film looks like some of the
lighting used in the film ‘The House Of Wax’
2005. Shown in the picture on the right.

3. Narrative (The Story Line)
• Our story line was a horror story line, it
involved a murder scene and someone being
stalked.
• When we was making a proposal for our
film, we had the film scream in mind.

4. The Hero
• We left our film as a cliff hanger to make
people want to continue to watch it.
• If we had to pick a hero then it would have
been Eden at the end of the film. Much like
the final girl in The House Of Wax.

5. The Villian
• The villian in our film is played by Haroldas, he
become a stalker of Toni and kills her
boyfriend who was played by Alfie.
• Harold represented the killer out of ‘The Hand
That Rocks The Craddle’ 1992 because he will
kill to get what he wants which is Toni.

6. Aspects Of Voilence
• Haroldas is the villian so he inflicts the
violence on Alfie & Toni.
• The violence in out film refers to the violence
in ‘Scream’ because of the struggle and the
choice of weapon Harold uses is a knife.

7. Editing Techniques During The Killing.
• During our killing of Alfie, we used cut in shots
of Harold with the knife.
• We also used continuity to create suspense
and show a new scene was being created.

8. Suspenseful Music
• During our film we added suspenseful music
at the times we wanted to create suspense.
• We cut music on the times where we wanted
the suspense to be relieved.
