Convention & Uses

I have my heart set on a truly terrifying story that led to a girl being stabbed in real life so I decided to chose certain conventions that would fit well into that story.

-The problem is caused or exacerbated by being isolated, unprepared, or naive
-The narrative is built to cause tension, anxiety, and fear in the audience
-Story plays on standard human fears: strangers, isolation, death, violence, insanity
-Graveyard or Cemetery
-Isolated communities or remote locations (cabin, dark woods)
-Hero -Victims -Villain
-Dark colored clothes, costumes, settings
-Weapons (knives)
-Blood. Lots of blood.
-Monsters (possessed people, mass murderer)
-Unnatural camera angles
-Extreme Close-Ups on victim’s face to show fear
-Long take with a sudden jump cut to frighten viewer
-Handheld camera adds terror
-Shallow depth of field
-Ambient Diegetic sounds
-Silence used to build tension
