Codes and Conventions for film

When making a film you would need to sort out all the props that you may need to use to make the film work, the typical actions that the characters would do e.g. if it is a horror slasher film the character NEEDS to be scared to make the film more believable, Also for films you need some typical character stereotypes like:

• The Romantic couple
• The Person who knows what is happening
• The person who dies first
• The person that the audience wants to die
• The survivor/s
• The character who tries to make all the jokes

Most horror slasher films would have that kind of thing.
Also Horror films would have a storyline to keep the audience on the edge of their seats for you to scare the life out of them like a usual

• Group of friends go to a Old building (accidentally lock themselves in) or a forest (would end up getting lost)
• The group would hear weird noises and would see a Mysterious figure
• The group would then get scared and run away in different directions and split up and lose each other
• The murderer would hunt them down and kill them one at a time as he looks around for them and uses his knife,sickle or any kind of weapon
• 9 times out of 10 a few survivors would find each other, make a group, protect themselves and then defeat the psycho killer and escape

If i was to make a horror slasher film it would be like that

From doing this task i have learned that you have to make the film match the genre 100% and that the storyline is interesting and makes sense rather than something stupid that doesn't work and makes no sense at all
