So, on the top we have a shot from the movie scream. This woman is scared and at the mercy of a killer and the shot below is from my film The Unknown where this woman is about to be killed by a creature. Can you see any similarities and differences? Well to start they both have their mouths wide open screaming. This is representing women as easy targets to murders and the first to be killed. It could be argued that this scream is a convention of the horror genre and I wanted to enforce this idea. The only difference between these two shots is that one has a reflection of the masked man whereas in my shot I used eye-line match from the creature's point of view.
I also used this idea of only seeing the face in the shot below, because it shows the audience that this woman is being watched and they know something is going to happen.
(The setting bellow is similar to a resident Evil Mansion which is a horror film (and game) which helps to show the audience that the genre is horror)
