Conventions of a horror film

Conventions of a horror film?





-Slow pace editing, builds tension and makes us sit on the edge of our seats.
-Jump scenes are the main reason for watching a horror film as you are intrigued to find out what is going to happen.
-There are a lot of dark scenes so that we feel worried as we usually expect people to be scared of the dark.
-There are a lot of dark streets with narrow allyways.
-Sometimes they are set in a ruined home ontop of a hill with some lights out the front of the house.
-A lot of low angles are used to show a character with more authority and to make him look more visious.
-High angled shots are used to connote fear.
-Disturbed sounds make us feel worried and get our hearts beating.
