Researching Codes And Conventions Within Existing Media Products


In order to help us when developing ideas for the opening of our horror film we analysed other film openings from several different horror movies that are aimed at a teenage audience. We mind mapped the different ways in which codes such as the use of sound, camera, editing and miss-en-scene are used to effect the atmosphere of the film and help form conventions of horror films that were used in the opening.
Through doing this we gained a much better understanding of what representations of characters(stereotypes and counter counterstereotypes) and conventions were appropriate to use for a  horror film and how to use the different codes to portray these conventions successfully to ensure that our own film opening has verisimilitude.
