Our product will follow conventions by
being set in the woods.This is because it
was used in sinister and helped to show
the genre effectively.We will alsouse an
establishing shot of the woods to set the
scene so the audience can identify with
the situation and this will create an
enigma as the woods are stereotypically
scary and mysterious.
In the cabin in the woods, close-ups are used to show fear
and panic to the audience.We will replicatethis and various
close-ups will be used to help convey the characters
emotions and feelings to the audience which will help them
to relate to the characters/situation and imagine it as
themselves. This will help make the action more believable
and realistic so the audience will want to watch the film.

isthatwe will use alimitednumberof characterssoourproduction
may be different to other horrors. Although by using a smaller
number of characters the audience may find it easier to identify
with each one as they are seen more often.
In our script we have shown that we are following conventions by
planningtouse a screamin our production.Theyare very effective in
films such as “The Conjuring” or “The cabin in the woods” as it helps
create a sense of panic/fear for the audience but also some
excitement as they don’t know what is coming up next. This is the
reason we wanted to include a scream in our production as it would
help indicate a change in the mood/atmosphere in the story. This

The amount of dialogue in our trailer is limited compared to other
horror genres due to the amount of characters and small storyline
which means that our trailer won’t be as conventional on that part.
My poster and magazine front cover follows conventions
forthe horrorgenre. The use of acolourscheme–redbeing
a main colour to signify blood. The font used on both
productslinktothe logo/title usedatthe endof our trailer.
The otherfontsare bold,sansserif fontwhichstandsoutto
the audience. The images are the main focus and feature
the same character. Theyreflectthe nature of the traileras
the make-up used is blood – signifying danger. The use of
the buzz words and puff/ cover lines are conventional as
they appeal to the audience, stand out and is what the
audience expect to see from horror genre products. The
