Media Techniques & Conventions Used In My Film

Codes & Conventions

1. Subdued lighting as horror films are filmed in that lighting  

2. I have incorporated many techniques like used close up shots to show their fearful reactions, mid shots are used and long shots and wide shots are used in the film to show the characters and the background, so audience can enjoy the scene and also see the surroundings which will help them understand the scene. 

3. The jumps cuts are used to create panic and fear. Non diegetic sounds are used in the film to create suspense and tension to make audience feel terror. 

4. The location I picked was a park and random road which was a dead end of a society and nobody was there so it was an empty road to showcase she was walking alone when some kind of entity followed her just to create a frightening moment for audiences. 

Representation

I wanted to target audience who enjoys horror and supernatural being with a hint of suspense and mystery related to the characters. Mainly my target audience will include teenagers ranging from 15 - 35years.This film can engage people who likes paranormal stories and the fear of unknown. The shock and suspense which was created with the dark imagery and frightening elements are used to engage audience, emotionally and create a sense of fear. The supernatural being should never be underestimated and this unknown realm can exist anywhere so we need to be cautious about it. The frightening events are used to tell the audiences if we put our foot into unknown world consciously or unconsciously this can have consequences which we should fear.
