Conventions of a Horror film:


  1. Low key lighting is used to help create a tense atmosphere that horrors tend to have.
  2. Music for horror films are usually a score, especially made for the film.
  3. Both Diagetic and Non-diagetic sounds are used to help create fear.
  4. Both high and low angles to empower characters as well as make them feel venerable
  5. Editing are straight cuts for a more realistic effect so it's easier for the audience to relate.
