Horror - Final Destination (Wong, 2000)
Conventions:
- blood splatters to reflect the gore theme
- blue/dark wash
- CU on the movement of props
- slow cutting rate
- 'ghostly' lettering
- tense orchestral soundtrack
- point of view shots - verisimilitude
- diegetic sound - whir of the fan
Thriller - Silence Of The Lambs (Demme, 1991)
Conventions:
- grey/blue colour wash - distant, cold atmosphere
- LS on the protagonist
- matched cuts
- diegetic sound - heavy breathing from the protagonist, snapping twigs
- dense orchestral soundtrack
- dialogue suggesting tension and mystery
- slow cutting rate
- pathetic fallacy - use of darkness and the weather to highlight the genre
