Conventions I've noticed in many horror films.

Blood, zombies, screaming, deaths, location unknown, isolation, shadows, domestic settings

• Mise-en-secene: isolated or at home
• Camerawork and editing: handheld camera fast cuts to create tension.
• Characters: Outcasts, evil, survivors.
• Themes: Deaths
• Icons: Weapons, Candles Knives (Used because knives are very frightening and real)
• Music and Sound: Screams, panting, breathing deeply, crying, shouting, tense, strong beats, strings
