Conventions of a horror film:
One convention of a horror film is creepy settings or locations. These include old houses, woods and lakes. These settings are usually in rural places, to show to the audience that these places are more abandoned and deserted. Jump Scares are also a common convention that is found in most horror films. This is where something or someone jumps out of nowhere to scare the audience and the characters in the film. Another convention of a horror film is scary creepy music, where suspended notes play continuously.
In most horror films, there is a form of evil, such as zombies or poltergeists. These characters are the main antagonists of the film. If teenagers are in the film, they are represented as spoilt and irresponsible, which makes the audience members have a hatred of them. However younger kids are either represented as evil or lonely, where they have an imaginary friend to play with.
