Generic conventions

The genre of our sequence is Horror/thriller. The genre conventions that show this are:

• The Killers mask -  which inflicts uneasiness and fear
• The Knife - Also inflicts fear 
• The Female victim
• The Male victim
• Eerie sounds in the background
• Time of day it is set in. (dark)

We also follow some codes and conventions of horror such as: 

• Causes fear and panic
• Causes dread and alarm
• The killer has a characteristic trademark for example the people he kills, the mask and the knife. 

Representations

The use of the mask and knife is a form of representation from the killer from "Scream", we wanted to adapt the killer so he wouldn't be exactly the same, therefore we choose a scary looking mask and a small knife that can easily be concealed. 

We represented London as a quiet place but a place that isn't completely safe, a place where you should always be aware of your surroundings.
