A genre convention is a typical or standard trope of plot, character, setting, icon, theme, or effect in a genre story.
My chosen genre is horror so the conventions may be very different compared to others.
· Plot- Usually involves a more realistic situation; Plot twists are also often used as it is beneficial for the producers.
· Character-Characters usually want to seek revenge. And are shown to be a good character but have an evil side.
· Narrative- The narrative used is usually non-linear as they usually contain flashbacks to show the character role in other parts of the film.
· Props- the props usually used are not physically violent so things like weapons aren’t used however things like mirrors and everyday household items if it is set in a house.
· Setting- The setting is usually a realistic place like in a house or a main road with houses, It has a dark mysterious and old feeling to it which is portrayed by different shot types.
· Sounds- tension is built with music building up by making it louder or high pitch also main the diegetic sounds don’t necessarily fit with what is happening in the shot to create mystery
