Me and my group have decided to generate our ideas and base our horror film on `my super psycho sweet 16' the conventions in this film include vandalised walls, blood, masked villain and dark rooms most of these conventions are popular and are noticed in many horror films. the plot of the film is about a spoiled teen, Madison Penrose's sweet sixteen is coming up. She wants to have her birthday party at the Roller-Dome, a once popular roller-rink with a violent history to match, this roller dome is the place where most of the killing happens, with its history being violent this is a typical convention used in horror films. The scene later switches to 1999; Charlie Rotter who is later revealed as the killer is the owner of a popular teen hang-out called the Roller-Dome, the home of many birthday parties. the haunted or unpleasant place in this film would be the `Roller Dome' most horror films tend to have a warehouse, church or a house in general as the haunted or unpleasant place to be where all the killing and unfortunate events take place. unlike most horror films this film doesn’t contain any religious factors or any super natural beings, the villain in this film is related to the main character, in most horror films the main character tends to have some form of relation to the bad guy.
In this film the bad guy hides his identity by wearing a hood and a mask, the hood and mask have some relation to the history of the `Roller Dome' the place where all the unfortunate events occur, seeing as he is trying to impersonate the lord of the rink a fictional being that is known to protect the `Roller Dome'.
.
with this horror film the conventions are pretty straight forward and simple, the main guy who is also the killer `Michael Myers' experienced something at a young age which led him to killing a family member of his, this right here is a common convention where the bad guy is forced to do the things he or she does because of a bad experience, another convention in this film is the fact that the villain is a masked person, although people know who he is he still feels the need to hide his identity. the setting of the film is in a small town although the unfortunate events and killings happen around the area where Michael Myers committed his first murder, the similarities in conventions of super psycho sweet 16 and Halloween are that the bad guy is hooded and has a mask to hide his identity and the people that are killed are related to the bad guy. the difference would have to be the setting of the films, Halloween is set around a old and damaged house whilst My super psycho sweet 16 is based around a party scene so therefore the glamorous mise en scene makes the environment seem high class and very presentable.
What i am including in my horror film
well from looking at these two horror films, me any my group have gathered some ideas in which we can use in order to make our Horror film seem orignal and authentic as possible, most of our ideas have come from My super psycho sweet 16, such as the teenage massacre and the father figure being the masked villain, our setting will be in a house and some scenes in a park.
