Conventions of a genre - Horror
Characters:
- The bad guy - usually a mad serial killer, monster or alien.
- The main character - usually survives and ends up being the hero
- His dumb, know it all friend that thinks he knows best but then just ends up getting killed
- The attractive young woman with her breasts out all of the time
- Police man - can either be a good or bad character, but will always die.
Props and Locations:
- If the movie is a teen, slasher horror movie then it is usually set in one of their houses. for example they could be having a house party and the bad guy comes and kills them
- Another frequent locations would be run down areas in the middle of nowhere, this is because the people would be stranded there with noone to help them, so it would be a good chance for the killer to strike. eg. '40 days of night' 'the thing'
- The killer would usually be either, disguised in black clothing so noone can see his face, dressed up as a normal person or policeman so noone would expect it to be them or wouldnt dress up at all so again noone would expect it to be them.
