My chosen genre will be to do a horror, horror films for me are one of the most interesting genres of film to do due to all the fear and suspense they cause to their target audience and it is this thrill that excites me. Horror films generally use the same conventions time and time again to make them appealing and very effective. They generally introduce the monster quite early on in the opening with the use of monster fodder, where an unknown mystery victim will be hunted and killed by the monster, this person will have nothing to do with the main storyline most of the time and it just there to show what the monster is capable of. I will have to keep these conventions in mind when it comes to designing and making my own film opening. Typical conventions of a horror film are:
- Dark and or shadowy lighting.
- Isolated or abandoned locations.
- Monster fodder to show what the monster is capable of.
- Disruption of normality.
- Sub plot of relationship developments.
- Defeat of monster
- Eerie, scary and or high paced chase music.
