The Roommate:
Key Conventions:
- Change
in music to create a scary mood. In the trailer the music goes from a
cheery guitar riff to a eery high key piano riff, which has repetitive
thuds on the drums.
- The
trailer builds up in tension as it goes on.
- Inter-titles
to add extra information and gentle hints, e.g 'Only have one Room mate'.
- The
actors voices are normal and happy at first but change to soft and scared
at the end.
- There
are a selection of moments which appear in a disorientated sequence to
scare you. For example there are jump cuts to extreme close ups of the
stalkers face.
- The jump cuts were always on the loud thud of the drums.
The Hitcher:
Key Conventions:
- Dialogue from selected areas of the film
played in the background so that the audience can understand the plot.
- Flashback to normality in the middle of chaos.
- Choir hymns are sung when we go back to
normality however violent strings and loud crashes are played when the
trailer becomes more thrilling.
- Quick fade out to black.
- Flashes from black to picture quickly and repetitively to build tension and disorientation.
The Fan:
Key Conventions:
- Voice over hinting to the plot of the film. For example 'To one fan
he meant so much more. A fan that never stopped believing... Always
watching...Waiting to be a part of his life'.
- Inter titles that show the producers and actors names
- Starts off with equilibrium and ends with dis-equilibrium.
- Music gradually builds up pace.
- Loud hits of a bat on jump cuts.
- Quick fade to black's.
