2. Psychological
 The subgenre which I have chosen is Psychological films.
Psychological subgenre is one that reflects a character's fears, guilt,
beliefs eerie sound effects, relevant music and emotional instability to
create tension and drive and motivate the plot forward to scare the
viewer.

3. Film
examples
Here are five examples
of psychological films:
 Frozen
 Buried
 Psycho
 The strangers
 You’re next

4. Conventions
 A convention of this subgenre is the fact that these films tend to rely on
the characters beliefs, fears and other hidden truths about the
character/what they have done, and the antagonist will target
those particular things.
 There is often someone who hides their ‘evil’ identity and nobody else
finds about it until the climax of the film.
 Contrapuntal music is often used to contradict whatever is happening
on the screen, which makes for a more dramatic effect.

 The killer is often your average character, which surprises the audience
since they evolve to become the protagonist/antagonist.
 The majority of settings are typical everyday ones such as big houses,
woodland locations, warehouses, schools and hospitals, so that the
audience can relate to these locations.

5. Idea
 A woman is walking home
 She feels worried since there is nobody on the streets since it is late.
 She keeps looking around her for something and hears faint noises
 She enters a train station which is empty, despite one small boy with a
hood who looks to the floor the whole time.
 She leaves the train once she gets to her stop, and the boy follows her.
 She tries to call for help but her phone receives no signal and has no
battery.
 She notices the boy following her but carries on going home.
 She finally arrives home to see the boy covered in blood inside her
house.

6. Conventions
 The fact that the antagonist is someone normal and a typical
character follows convention.
 Settings which are relatable for the viewer are in the ots for
example the train.
 The ots remains very enigmatic and makes the viewer raise
questions.

7. Narrative enigmas
 Why is she being followed?
 What are the noises?
 Who is the boy?
 Why is he following her?
 Who is she?
 What is wrong with the boy?
 W

8. Targets
 Making sure the sounds are made louder using volume control
 Make sure the ideal lighting and time of day are taken into
consideration when filming.
 Try to use as many different camera shot types as you can, but
keeping it relevant.
 Make sure the editing starts off slow and speeds up.
