Crime conventions in films usually involve a complex storyline, police investigation, and twists. There is a villain committing crimes, victims, and a mysterious female character. The hero is often not who you expect. Horror conventions include close-up shots of victims, dark lighting, spooky settings, and loud dramatic music to create tension and scare the audience.
Narrative Theory
The document discusses several narrative theories and how they may apply to teen horror films and the opening sequence of a film project. It summarizes Vladimir Propp's theory of character types and plot events in folktales. It then explains how the proposed opening fits some of Propp's character types and follows some of the events he identified. Next, it outlines Claude Levi-Strauss's theory of binary oppositions driving narratives and provides some examples that are often seen in teen horror films. Finally, it briefly introduces Roland Barthes' concept of an "enigma code" using mystery and questions to engage audiences.

Conventions
This document discusses conventions that are commonly found in horror film openings and plots. It notes that openings often introduce the main characters and hint at something supernatural. Flashbacks and spooky, scary settings are conventions in film plots. The document then lists some specific conventions that could be used, developed, or challenged regarding the story plot, narrative structure, characters, locations, costumes/props, and other elements. It analyzes how the film may incorporate or adapt typical conventions from real horror films.
Psychological horror iconography and conventions
This document summarizes conventions of the psychological horror genre based on audience feedback and research. It finds that psychological horror films typically focus on everyday situations, rely on characters' fears and hidden truths, and use nonlinear narratives with flashbacks. They feature normal antagonists and depict victims as helpless. Settings seem real to create fear that the audience could experience the same situations. The purpose is to frighten audiences with plausible plots that relate to their lives.
Importance of genre
The document discusses the importance of genre in film production and marketing. Genre is used to categorize media based on similarities and conventions. It is important for producers to identify a film's genre to more easily classify, promote, and lower production costs. Knowing the genre allows audiences to have expectations about the type of film and decide if they are interested. Film ratings also help audiences understand what level of content is appropriate for their age.
Supernatural horror conventions
- The main character is often the one who is possessed, becoming the antagonist as in The Amityville Horror and The Conjuring. Religious characters sometimes try to perform exorcisms to remove the evil possession.
- The stories typically take place in isolated, abandoned houses with dark histories like sites of murders. The truth about what happened is often only revealed midway through to build suspense, as in Mama.
- Common visual conventions include the use of dark, eerie colors like reds, blacks, and whites to create an unsettling atmosphere and identify the supernatural genre. Posters for films like Sinister effectively employ colors to build suspense.
Lesson1

Codes and conventions in the horror genre
This document discusses the codes and conventions commonly used in horror films and trailers. It outlines the key narrative structures, characters, settings, costumes, props, colors, and sounds that define the genre. Narratives typically follow a pattern of equilibrium, disruption, recognition, attempt to repair, and return to equilibrium. Common characters include the protagonist, antagonist, sex appeal victim, and unlikely hero. Settings are often isolated or abandoned locations. Lighting, colors, costumes, and sounds are used to create an eerie atmosphere and build suspense and tension.
Narrative
The document discusses several narrative structures and techniques used in films. It describes Todorov's narrative structure of equilibrium being disrupted, recognition of the disruption, and a new equilibrium being established. It also discusses Propp's identification of common character types like the hero and villain, as well as narrative functions. Additionally, it outlines Levi-Strauss' concept of binary oppositions that create conflict and tension in narratives. Finally, it discusses Roland Barthes' idea of an "enigma code" where clues are left for the audience but no clear answers are given, leaving viewers guessing.
Presentation1
My media product uses and develops conventions of real horror films through themes of violence, stalking, and gender roles. I portray a male stalking and brutally killing a female victim. While I aimed to use conventions like low-key lighting and tense music, technical limitations required adapting conventions. The violent scenes are edited to maintain mystery while avoiding depiction of the act. Overall, the product develops conventions of the genre through use of techniques like close-ups, off-screen violence, and mystery.
Values and representation
This document discusses the common conventions found in horror and thriller films. It notes that these genres typically involve violence, victims, death, and vengeance between main characters. They are often set at nighttime to associate darkness with evil and contain chase scenes that elevate the audience's heart rate and engagement with the film.
Codes and conventions in Horror Films
The document discusses common codes, conventions, and techniques used in horror films. It begins by defining codes and conventions, and explains that codes are technical or symbolic ways of communicating meaning, while conventions are generally accepted ways of doing things within a genre. It then lists and describes several common conventions in horror films, such as films being set in isolated locations, characters ignoring threats of danger, the power being cut at scary moments, phone lines being cut, characters investigating strange noises, victims running upstairs instead of outside, and more.
Psychological Horror Research
Psychological horror focuses on everyday events that could plausibly occur in real life, making the audience more cautious. It relies on the characters' beliefs, fears, and hidden truths to create horror, rather than supernatural elements. Common conventions include an ordinary killer who appears normal, mysteries around their identity, a focus on the killer's twisted mind over physical weapons, settings people can relate to like homes and hospitals, and flashbacks explaining the killer's motives. This genre often targets female victims and uses children as killers, though the document proposes breaking those conventions.
Types of thrillers
The document outlines several types of thrillers, including action thrillers which involve races against time and violence, crime thrillers focused on committing crimes, erotic thrillers combining erotica and thrills, horror thrillers meant to scare viewers using elements of fear, techno-thrillers centered around military and technology, psychological thrillers prioritizing mental and emotional elements over physical action, and torture porn films graphically depicting torture. Examples are provided for each type.
Different types of thrillers
The document discusses different types of thrillers, including psychological thrillers, crime thrillers, romantic thrillers, supernatural thrillers, and action thrillers. Psychological thrillers involve mental manipulation and battle of wits between characters. Crime thrillers focus on law-breaking and feature police prominently. Romantic thrillers combine relationships with thriller elements. Supernatural thrillers incorporate otherworldly elements into the suspense. Action thrillers contain frequent violent and bloody action scenes.
Narrative theory
Vladimir Propp studied folktales and identified 8 character types and 31 functions that advance the story. Propp's theory includes character types like the hero, villain, and princess, and functions like prohibiting the hero or the villain learning about the victim. Levi-Strauss argued that narratives rely on binary oppositions like good/evil that create conflict and drive the story. Both theories can apply to teen horror movies, which feature character types and explore oppositional themes of good versus evil. Barthes' enigma code also fits the genre as teen horror often starts with a mystery like an unsolved murder to pique audience interest.

Conventions - AS Media
Horror films commonly use certain conventions to create tension and scare audiences. Low-key lighting is used to make scenes darker and more sinister. Camera work like low and high angles show a villain's power or make audiences feel nervous. Dark colors like black and blue are used to convey isolation, fear, and danger. Common props include knives and axes that can inflict pain. Character archetypes include the "final girl" who survives and a psychotic villain with a tragic backstory. Narratives often follow Todorov's structure of disrupting an initial equilibrium. Settings in abandoned or isolated places at night are most frightening.

The Iberian Wolf is a gray wolf subspecies native to the Iberian Peninsula, with a current population of around 2,000 wolves, 300 of which live in Portugal. Smaller than other gray wolf subspecies, Iberian wolves have large triangular ears, slanted yellow eyes, and fur ranging from brown to black mixed with gray. They live in hierarchical groups of 3 to 10 wolves led by an alpha pair and prey primarily on wild boar, deer, and occasionally domestic animals. Hunting and loss of habitat drastically reduced the wolf's historic range across the Iberian Peninsula by the 20th century.

Gender material girl
The document analyzes representations of gender in Madonna's "Material Girl" music video. It notes that two men objectify Madonna as she sings. Madonna wears typically feminine pink and red dresses while the men wear masculine black suits. The video also shows a gender role swap where Madonna has power over the men, pushing one away when he asks for a kiss and having others try to get her attention with gifts. Overall, the document examines how the video portrays the female gender through Madonna's dominance over the male characters.

The Iberian lynx is an endangered species native to the Iberian Peninsula. It hunts small mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians alone and has short tails, tufted ears, and a ruff of fur beneath its chin. The main threats to the Iberian lynx are the disappearance of rabbit populations due to disease and illegal hunting. Its population declined sharply from several thousand in 1969 to an estimated 110-150 individuals in 2008, and it is now critically endangered. Conservation efforts include a captive breeding program in Spain that has helped increase numbers.

Media evaluation by Teegan Harvey
The document provides an analysis of a short horror film opening. It discusses various technical and stylistic elements used that conform to conventions of the psychological horror genre. These include the setting, plot, characters, sound, editing, mise-en-scene, camera work, titles, and color palette. It also analyzes how the film represents particular social groups through its gendered characters and their roles. Finally, it considers potential distribution partners for an independent film like theirs, such as television slots and film festivals, and viral marketing strategies to connect with audiences.
Evaluation Question 1
In what way does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
Question 1:Media Evaluation
Horror movies aim to scare and entertain viewers through themes involving mystical creatures, serial killers, ghosts, and other disturbing subjects. The author analyzes the opening sequences of three horror films, noting their use of camera shots, editing, sound, settings, victims, and other conventions to build suspense and fear. For their own opening sequence, the author's group challenged some conventions by using teenagers instead of children, balancing diegetic and nondiegetic sound, and not including typical props or costumes.
Evaluation - Q1
The document discusses how a student's supernatural horror film opening uses and develops conventions of the genre. It conducted research on other film openings. The title "3:17AM" provides insight without immediately suggesting horror. Visual elements like fonts, effects and desaturated colors follow conventions. The setting in a isolated family home and props like candles are common. Shots build suspense through zooms and pans. Hints about the narrative reference conventions like vulnerable characters and threatening forces. Filming during the day challenged realism expected of the genre. Overall, the opening fits conventions through its use of various visual and audio elements.
Evaluation question 1
Our film challenges and develops conventions of slasher horror films. It takes place in a forest, a typical horror location, but our title "Redwood" doesn't reference the plot like most horror titles. We don't show the killer's identity until late in the film, maintaining the mystery. While we use techniques like high angles, POV shots, and music to build suspense, our opening credits use a typewriter effect atypical of the genre. Costumes appear normal to create a false sense of security before the disruption of a character's disappearance.
Evaluation question 1
This document discusses how the media product both develops and challenges conventions of real horror films. It develops conventions through its use of a forest setting, high angle shots, close-ups, suspenseful sound design and music, and mystery surrounding the killer's identity. However, it also challenges conventions with its typewriter-style credits, one-word title unrelated to the plot, and minimal depictions of the killer. The goal was to create suspense while surprising the audience within the typical narrative structure of horror films.
Evaluationq1
The document discusses how a media project challenges conventions of similar psychological thriller films. It analyzes the film "Black Swan" to understand typical conventions like troubled protagonists. The project challenges conventions by having a simple opening and giving the protagonist a difficult background. It follows conventions like using suspenseful music and a vulnerable young female protagonist. It also uses conventions like starting with a flashback to build intrigue.
Media powerpoint
The document discusses common elements and techniques used in horror films. It notes that horror films often start with characters going about a normal day that is disrupted by some evil force causing trouble. It then discusses other common tropes like isolated settings that enable vulnerability, use of music stings and jump scares, point-of-view camera shots to involve viewers, and clear distinctions between good and evil characters/symbols. The document also examines how these techniques are employed in popular horror movies and how the filmmakers aimed to utilize these elements in their own horror film.
Powerpoint question 1
The document discusses how the student's media product uses and develops conventions of real thriller/horror genre films. It analyzes elements like character archetypes, typical plot events, narrative structure, credits, music, lighting, pacing and limited dialogue to build suspense. The opening sequence aims to grasp the tone and set up mystery in line with conventions seen in films like "Seven".
Evaluation questions 1 and 2 - AS Media Studies
This document analyzes how the opening sequence of a student film project uses and develops conventions of the horror genre. It discusses various visual, audio, and narrative elements that conform to audience expectations, such as the use of iconography like a rocking horse and pentagram, low key lighting, diegetic sound effects, a "haunted house" location, and a young female ghost character. However, it also notes some ways the sequence challenges conventions, like presenting the ghost character as trying to help rather than being the antagonist. The document considers how the sequence represents social groups through its exclusively young, white cast of two male protagonists and a female ghost.
How Research Impacted Our Ideas
- The document discusses how research influenced the development of ideas for a horror film trailer by following established narrative and character theories to give it a "professional feel". It describes applying Todorov's narrative structure theory and Propp's character roles to shape the story.
- Key horror genre conventions from the DISTINCT method were also followed to make the trailer seem authentic to the horror genre, including setting, cinematography, iconography, narrative structures, character types, and themes.
- Research into target audiences revealed female teenagers are most likely to watch horror films, so the lead was made a female and other conventions like the "Final Girl" theory were employed.
In what ways does your media product use, develop, or challenge forms and con...
The document discusses how the media product challenges conventions of the horror genre. It used inspiration from films like "The Blair Witch Project" to set the film in an isolated woods location. It challenges conventions by having a female as the lead threat instead of the usual male. It also films during daylight instead of at night. The trailer aims to provoke ambiguity and leave the plot unexplained to pique viewers' interest in the full film. Music, cinematography using natural lighting and shots, and the poster drawing on "torture porn" conventions were used to develop the horror aspects while challenging expectations.
Q1
The document discusses how the film opening for a student horror film draws from conventions of established horror films to develop the genre while also attempting some original elements. It examines how the opening takes place in a family home setting like Scream 4, uses a telephone call like in many teen horrors, and features a male protagonist unlike typical teen horrors to make it more original. Lighting and a dark, confined cellar space mirror conventions from The Grudge, while the antagonist's need for the protagonist references themes from Jamaica Inn. The choice of a wooden pole weapon was meant to convey the killer's youth and effort needed to harm others like in Amityville Horror.
Evaluation questions 1 and 2
The document analyzes how the opening sequence of a supernatural horror film product uses and develops genre conventions. It discusses elements like visual signifiers, costumes, lighting, editing, sound, locations, characters and plot that conform to audience expectations of the genre. Some conventions are directly replicated from films like The Conjuring and Insidious, while others like an atypical protagonist challenge conventions to create mystery and intrigue. Overall the sequence aims to immerse the audience in the genre through iconic visual and technical elements.
Question 1 Evaluation
The media product uses and develops conventions of real horror films. It aims to raise fear in the opening sequence through clashing sounds, as is typical of horror films. It leaves the ghost's face partly obscured, creating fear of the unknown. The narrative follows a psychological horror plot involving one spirit obsessed with another character, similar to other films. Camera shots and sound effects also develop conventions by building tension, though the technical codes are kept simple like in The Babadook to seem realistic. Props are used effectively, like a rocking barrel signifying insanity. Overall the film challenges conventions little while developing many forms found in typical horror films.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

Vanished
- 2. Storyline • Our storyline was very similar to that of the film taken, we created the story of a girl being lured to a party by a boy only to be snatched by him. It follows the conventions of a typical thriller as it involves crime which is the kidnapping.
- 3. Location • We set our teaser trailer in what looked like an abandoned house. The reason for this is that it was surrounded by large tree’s which gave it an eerie and scary feel. This part is not similar to the film taken although we felt with the resources we had it was the best way to go. This follows the conventions for a thriller as it keeps the audience wondering what will happen next.
- 4. Iconography • We tried the follow the conventions of a thriller by using stuff like fake blood, and rope to tie the victim up with. This item’s could also be considered to be part of a typical horror’s conventions, this could potentially confuse the audience although I do feel that the film also does show some of the typical conventions of a horror.
- 5. Other • We tried to create fear for the audience through the music, we started off this process by using really quite a high pitched constant music at the start. This was then followed by a heavy low pitched beating sound to let the audience know that danger is on it’s way for Libby. We created the music using soundtrack.
