Conventions Of a Horror Movie

In horror Movies people almost always to a party or go to a secluded cabin/house of some kind. The groups of young people  are made up of teen movie stereotypes. Partying will involve doing illicit things like drugs,sex etc... There will be one of the girls not doing anything bad but she will habg around.
In most horror films the monster/psycho will appear during or after the party and start
killg them off, usually in order of how bad they've been. The monsters/psycho's face is never
seen or revealed it's usually disfigured or wearing a mask. The teenagers will try to save themselves but will never stick together and therefore be picked out one by one.
In most cases the innocent girl will survuve until the end, she may or may not kill the pshycho/monsters.

 the Mise En Scene for Horror movies will almost always include:

• low key lighting
• Suburban Location
• Teen Costumes
• Axe,Knife as weapons, never a gun
• Unrealistic performances

The sound will always be spooky music to build up tension/suspence in the audience.

Camera work will be alternating between still/steady and handheld/steadycam for fear and exitment and some P.O.V work.

Editing will always be in the continuity style.
