Our film is a thriller/horror genre. The conventions to do with thrillers are most often to do with editing and sound. Things such as quick cuts, use of camera angles and specific lighting, Shadows are a big thing, used to create tension and suspense. We filmed in night time, so dim lighting is used, this is a typical convention of the thriller genre. Our production, at the start, is filmed in first person, this is mixed up with the killer shown getting ready. The switch between these creates tension for the audience. The eary music in our production is a slow song, which creates tension. The titles we used have been kept very simple so that they fit in with the codes and conventions of a thriller. The protagonist (Connor) in our film is shown wearing a dark coat along with black trousers and black shoes. He also wears a hat to cover his facial features; unfortunately the hat is light so we could’ve improved with a black hat. The dark clothes make it feel sinister and show that he’s a ‘bad’ character. This is a typical representation of a killer, dark colours making it sinister, and showing mystery, fear, and evil, which creates a threatening image. The victim in the production (Heather) also wears dark clothes; however, she has a red bag to make her stand out. Red also symbolises danger. This informs the audience that something bad is going to happen.
