Conventions of a Horror:
- blood stains over the props and scene immediatley show the genre of the film and the audience can see that it is going to be horror including gore and violent scenes.
- slow motion is used to see actions more clearly which would be good to use in a horror opening sequence because sometimes situations are hard to understand and slow motion will capture all the details.
- non-diegetic sound is used to further introduce the genre, the background music include low tempo singing in a whispering sort of voice which indicates horror.
- studio sound is used to include footsteps of a person without seeing the character and this typifies the genre of horror. Footsteps are used a lot in horror movies to provide suspense, tension and unease.
- there are props such as poles and knives that have been stuck into the bodies of the human statues which show that there will be gore in the movie, so this could be done to indicate to the audience gore will be prevelant but not making the audience feel uneased near the beggining.
- from this opening sequence i can see that horror movies will start slow and comfortable, but parts of the sequence provide the audience with information that certain scences will occur throughout.
- sound is one of the most important things when making the horror sequence because event with violent scenes, music can change the mood.
