The genre I have chosen to use for my film is horror. In addition, the sub genre within my chosen genre is slasher. To recreate the codes and conventions of the genre, I will use low key lighting locations, dark filters and intense incidental sound to create effect expected of the genre. To meet the codes and conventions of the sub-genre, I will use props (such as knives, chainsaws, etc) to meet the audiences expectation of the sub-genre.
In addition to this, the antagonist of the film shall be dressed according to audience expectation (dark clothing, masks, etc). The protagonist of the film shall be a teenager (either male or female) so it connects with the target audience, creating more of an interest within young people. The codes and conventions of a narrative to a slasher film, is that a character, or a group of people (stereotypically female) are stranded in a low key lighting location and there is a serial killer on the loose. In my film, I will use these codes and conventions to create the beginning of a narrative, to build up tension so it'll leave the target audience wanting more.
