Conventions of a Our Thriller

In our thriller, we have to show stereotypical conventions so the audience would know it is a psychological thriller. The wierdness of the props / setting etc are all parts of the conventions. The music would be eary or slow sounds, perhaps no sound at all to create tension. There'll be low key lighting in mainly isolated places which are dark and make people feel trapped. Another convention would be that everything would be unusual, something that the world wouldn't understand. Our male character creates an inigma, as he grabs the audiences attention by not knowing who he is or what he's doing. He represents evil by his dark clothing, which also colour codes. There's two vulnerable teenage girls which one is dressed as a doll, which connects with the props. The props we're using are things like pictures of clowns, dolls and red balloons. These create a contrapuntal feel as they're meant to be connected with happy emotions. The red balloons are also colour coded with danger and blood.
Overall, it's a psychological thriller with some conventions of a horror.
