Teen horrors have conventions just like all media products, Coventions are the usual ways of doing something. Conventions are usually used to keep withing a genre and to make a product successful.
My film fits into the conventions for a teen horror because:
- Teenagers as the main characters
- Relationship involved
- College student
- Darkness
- Mysterious
The similarities between my film and sorority row is that they both have girls as the main charcaters, the difference is that in sorority row their are a group of girls as the main characters whereas my film has only one girl. Another similarity is that a relationship is featured in both of the films, the relationship in both films is between a girl and boy, In my film the couple are together whereas in Sorority row the couple have broken up. There is a car scene within both of the films and in both films it is dramatic and involves quite a bit of the plot within the film. Both films use darkness to make the film more scary and to have a more dramatic effect on the story line. In sorority row a party is the opening sequence and teen music is used this is the same for my film. Horror music and sound effects are used in Sorority row to build suspense, if i was creating the rest of my film this is what i would include to do the same effect.
The similiarities between my film and Jennifers body is that like sorority row the main characters are girls, in Jennifers there are two girls. Also like Sorority row a relationship is featured, in Jennifers body the relationship is between two bestfriends and another between a girlfriend and boyfriend, in my film a relationship between a girlfriend and boyfriend is featured. A similarity between Jennifers body and my film is that the two films have a sense of mystery, they both have questions that the audience are thinking about the film e.g. why is this happening? what happened before? Another similarity between the Jennifers body and my film is that flashbacks are used to provide the audience with more information. The difference between them is that in Jennifers body it shows the ending of them film then goes back in time to what happened previous whereas in my film the flashback just gives information to help enable the story line.
