Use of Conventions

One convention we used that most horror movies use is suspense which is built by the dark scenes and build up that ultimately leads to her death. Another time we implemented suspense was by showing her moving in the background while the actors do not see her. Another convention often used when someone is hit by a moving object is a close up of their face reacting to whatever is about to hit them. The social groups we have in the movie are middle class college students who have to deal with a unknown mystical force trying to kill them. In the beginning it relates to a lower class rural area because there is nobody nearby able to hear her shriek for help.
