Genre- Horror

HORROR
Settings- Set in a small town. Locations often appear dark and isolated e.g. abandoned house, forest.
Technical code- extreme close ups to emphasise the subject. Establishing shots to show the location. Long shots to help show the danger or what the lad character is surrounded by.
Iconography- Lighting is quiet dark as it is usually filmed in the evening. The colour red is used which suggests danger. Dull colours such as grey and washed out green.
Characters- There is often a new character moving into a new town. The character is usually aware that something is not right. Not many well known star personas, as it makes it more believable if there is someone they don't know. This helps them forget that it is a movie that they are watching.
