Horror Conventions in our film:

1) Costume - Inspired by Kubrick, i decided that i really wanted to have a lot of red in Tilly's costume to symbolism the danger she is in. She will be wearing black running shorts, a red tank top, a black jacket, running shoes and she will be holding a red tote. At this point in the film she is meant to be returning from football training so i tried to incorporate the red into sportswear. No one else in the film will be wearing red, even Eliza at the start because she is already dead. I hope people will recognized the foreshadowing through the color in the costume
2)Setting - i have chosen areas around Mt Roskill and Hillsborough to shoot because people will recognize them. this is because its what people claimed would scare them the most in my survey. the areas we are filming are also very nice looking and childish. for example we will be shooting in two parks, one will be around a playground. This will show the transition of good to evil more in my film.
3)Cinematography - I really want to use every camera angle and shot effectively so everyone fully understands my film. I will be using some P.O.V shots to show the creature stalking Tilly before invading her mind. I am hoping those shots will not only be scary but also convey the aggression in our invisible monster.
4)Sound - Sound will be very important to me for this project because its the sound that really makes the movie. you can go back and fix the lighting of a shot but if your sound is awful there is very little you can do. So i will be doing my best to get very clean sound. Secondly our film will have non-diagetic sound all throughout because i am a firm believer that silence is awkward. I want to have a good mix of bassey sounds that will build suspense and dramatic music for the really high tension moments. This will make it more climactic.
5)Structure (Open ended) - Our plot will be left open ended to give our viewers that last little gasp at the end of our film, plus to stay true to the typical aspects of horror. This will scare the viewers who have now let their guard down a little and give the film a memorable ending.
