In what ways does our clip use, develop or challenge conventions?

Our opening sequence shows the genre of our film though the conventions shown,

• The first convention we see in the opening sequence is the young girl who is being followed. Children are used in thrillers as they are seen as innocent and defensless in the face of danger also later on in the opening sequence, the mutants other victims are also innocent girls as females are seen as being vunerable.
• The idea of mutants being used can be seen in different genres such as sci fi but in our plot, the mutants are muderers and humanlike, different species of life are shown in thriller films also the mutants faces were always hidden from the audience to create mystery and make the audience want to carry on watching and make question what they are looking for. Their clothing also is a tell tale thriller sign, ripped, bloodstained, dark coloured clothes are also conventions of a thriller film as they are signs of trouble and a struggle prehaps which show the mutants are evil rather than innocent.
• We include blood, murder, eerie music and screams, revenge and mystery are all conventions of thriller films.
• The setting of the film is in a quiet desolated park which is a good setting for a thriller film as it can show the desperation of the victims as they have no-one to help them. They are shown as being the only ones in the park, apart from the mutants.
• The use of shots also shows us the genre of film we are watching. Our thriller uses some panning and also tracking to show running and following to create tension and fear with the audience.
