Research: Conventions Found In Horror Films

This lesson we watched three different openings to three different movies and completed this sheet. The three films we watched was Dead Mary, Dead Wood and Wrong Turn. To fill out our sheet we ticked what we thought was added in the first 3-5 minutes of the films. For example one of the conventions was 'A secluded location'.  There were 15 conventions we had to look for in the openings of these three films.

Here is the boxes that i have ticked.

Dead Mary -
