Deconstruction of Genre- Charlotte Wilson

Deconstruction of Genre 

I looked at films in the supernatural horror genre i found the one the  conjuring good for looking at the genre as we want todo that for our film opening.
Conventions of supernatural horror movies are:
Includes a Demond or spirit
Children are vulnerable
Location usually a house 
Object or toy is used which has a connection with the spirit 
Religion of priest have a role
Symbolo is used 

In the conjuring there is an abandoned house which they move into to. Which looks creepy and old.

There is also a child which gets possessed. Being a convention of supernatural horrors.


There is also the evil Demond which is throughout the film where supernatural occurrences happen. The Demond is shown to be a women who is old and dressed in old fashioned worn out dress.


There is also an object which has a connection with the spirit or what it is in. 


From identifying these convenctions in supernatural horror films i am able to apply them to my own film opening so that people can clearly see that it is a supernatural horror film opening. We will used the convenctions which are shown commonly in supernatural films.
