The document discusses conventions in the horror film Scream. It notes that the killer wears a mask to hide their identity and interest the audience in discovering who they are. Low key lighting is used to create mystery by hiding things in darkness. The film is also set in a large, secluded house making it an ideal isolated location for murders where screams cannot be heard. Victims are typically young, vulnerable women, and the main characters in this film also fit that pattern. Non-diegetic sounds like music are used to make scenes scarier.
