We watched the opening of two horror films so that we could see what the main conventions are in horror films. The two horror films we watched were 'The ring' and 'Them' which is a French horror film. For both films we watched the opening 10-15 minutes and tried to pick out the main conventions in the sequences. Some of the main conventions which we found out in the opening sequences were:
Night time
A location of a house- in the middle of nowhere
The same character in the film normally gets killed- girl with blonde hair
