Chosen Genre.

We have chosen to do a supernatual thriller.

The generic conventions are:

• Supernatual creatures e.g. Vampires
• Mystery
• Suspence
• Non Happy ending

Most Supernatual thrillers ive seen involve some sort of plot twist which builds some sort of suspence. The openings tend to be slow and atmospheric. Take Amitville Horror 2 for instance which sets the scene of the house. This involves a slow pan around the house with slow music and childeren singing adding a creepy vibe to the house.

Music in Supernautral thrillers is really important. Music adds a certain tone which helps build a atmosphere. The music tends to be slow and simple and tends to be played in the background, never really highlighted, unlike action films for example where the music tends to be more forward. Making scenes feel more tense and thrilling.

The titles tend to be rather simple too. Making them go unnoticed. They also tend to fade in and out slowly giving them a ghostly feel.
