Creativity in convention

I will show the main creativity in convention through the use of camera shots, movement and editing as well as the setting and narrative. Immediatly an establishing shot of the setting will be used to convey the immediate sense of mystery. The diegetic sound of wind and leaves rolling over will show that the house is secluded and that there will be no escape from the events to unfold. The diegetic sounds of the natural environment will make it link in to the themes of physiological horrors as they are set in realistic locations this will also create intrigue immediately, the should will show what is happening in that place at that time, However the sounds will change completely when the setting changes to inside the house, all of the natural outdoor noises will no longer be heard, instead there will be an eery silence to suggest that this silence will soon be disturbed in some way.A key convention of the horror genre is lighting and I will continue to use this to my avantage throughout the whole opening scene. However, a problem with this convention is the filming could look unprofessional and of a bad quality so I will have to make sure that the lighting achieves the desired effect. Furthermore, I think camera movement will be essential to the creation of the opening scene as without this the narrative will not be clear to the audience.
