In horror films, what codes & conventions are most likely to impact the audience?
    Editing that is of a faster pace
    Reflections, dark low-key lighting
    An Intriguing narrative
    Subversions of stereotypes
    Diegetic sound that influences
    Discuss the expectations of the narrative in an opening to a horror film
      Events based on real-life situations
      Relatability of the plot to the audience
      Counter opinion - subvert from cliché
      Sudden jump-scares
      Flash-backs for clear structure
      Do horror films differ from the thriller genre?
        Editing is of a slower pace
        Similarities of colour representations
        Low-key lighting
        Horror introduces the set clearly
        Would a female antagonist engage the audience less?
          No, instead it encourages a different interpretation of the characters as oppose to the cliché of a male dominated lead role.
                No, as it allows the stereotype to be subverted which would more than likely entice the audience as it is an aspect that is unusual for movies in the present day.
