Conventions:
Our title sequence doesn’t directly challenge the codes and conventions of horror, it more complies with them. We wanted to stick to the traditional ideas of horror, as we now they are popular, especially with the younger audience.
We filmed most of the clips on two or three separate occasions, therefore some of the lighting in the clips is different. When on avid we found some tools which would allow us to change the effect on the clips to make them flow and transition better. We put the same effect over all the clips to make them the same tone. Having the setting as dark it makes it more eerie, scary and intrigues the audience. This is a subtle convention of horror, most opening sequences include it however when researching horrors myself I noticed that not all of them have it in the title sequence as they have the equilibrium in the beginning.
In almost any conventional horror film, where the murderer is a human, they will be male. The females are seen as the victims, more vulnerable, and this appears to be an extremely common but popular convention of horror.
Breaking Christian Moral boundaries is included in our title sequence because again it is popular with our audience. Our main character Ainsley Moore has been brought up by a Christian family, however he commits crimes which are not accepted by the bible and are seen as unforgivable by God. Although Ainsley’s intentions are supposed to be good, he is troubled and confused as to what sins are and what aren’t.
Even though our film fits in with several conventions, it has a human serial killer, which is a slightly unpopular horror genre. Recently physiological horrors have been well-liked, or satanic stories with supernatural beings. This is one recent convention which our horror doesn’t follow along side with. Having a human and to the other people in the film appearing normal makes it more realistic to the audience watching as they could also be surrounded with people like the main character Ainsley, whereas supernatural beings are seen to be non-existent in many peoples eyes.

Representation of social
groups:
Our Horror is based around teenagers to young adults. We haven’t presented them as rebellious or people who constantly drink and are careless which many horrors do, as we have gone for a different approach. Our serial killer is mentally ill due to his horrific childhood: Ainsley witnessed his father murdering innocent young girls on their family farm, and therefore once his father dies he believes that he has to do the same. Our title shows very little about the characters but instantly the audience know that the girl is in danger and is venerable. We did discuss the whole story-line, and what we had planned what that one of his next victims has a chance of surviving because Ainsley develops a liking towards her, which is a representation of young people as being sexual.
