CCR Draft 1

My product uses a few conventions that are implemented in horror movies. For example we used suspense to build up, one time we used this was when they are walking up the stairs and she is standing in the mirror while the audience is able to see but the actors are unaware of the ghost. Another example is while she is walking behind the actors while they are cleaning up the broken glass and again the actors do not see her. The movie started with longer shots that slowly becoming shorter as the suspense builds up as the audience sees more of the haunting occur. Another convention used is music that is played in the background which often means something is going to happen. For example while Gabby was walking to the train track I had a more slow horrifying audio playing that shows a build up or foreshadow for something about to come. Immediately after the music I added the distant train sound to add more reality to the film. After the walking scene I obviously we were unable to actually have our actor be hit by a train. We decided to use the conventional method of having the actor reacting to the thing that is off scene that faded to white showing the death. One camera shot that is used in horror movies a lot is an over the shoulder shot this was important in our film because while they were walking into their new house this was the first time we see the ghost for the first time. Another shot used a lot were wide shots this is very good to show the setting, characters, and things only the audience can see. The last shot in the film was a Point of View shot this convention is often used to make it feel like the audience is actually in the situation dealing with the problem. The social groups that are represented in my film could be married couples. Another social group could be teenagers because that's the age the actors paying the parts are. Also it is for a more lower middle class as you can see from the house and other settings.
