As we decided to make a film in the horror genre, we relised that we needed tp fit the codes and conventions of that particular genre. That consists of making the film scary for the viewers with a storyline that is interesting and has enough action to keep the viewer satisfied.
The horror genre usually consists of darkness which is a common theme in nearly all horror films such as the film The Conjuring which filmed its whole opening sequence in black and white. Darkness is a common theme in the horror genre as it is often associated with mystery and often death. Another theme in the genre is suspense which is a key part in making the genre interesting as the audience needs to have an interest in what will happen to the character.
This made us decide that our opening sequence will need to consist of a lot of mystery to get the viewers attention and make them want to know what happens to the character a the film goes a long. We also decided that our opening sequence will need to consist of a lot of darkness to make sure that it fits in the genre of horror correctly.
