Conventions in our film compared with the genre

These are the main factors in our film:
  • Mystery
  • Mental illness
  • Substance abuse (Alcohol)
  • Death
These are the main factors in the same genre as our film (psychological thriller)
  • Murder
  • Police
  • Mental health problems
  • Supernatural events
Our film does comply with one of the major conventions of the genre; mental health problems. This is a good thing for us because it will still attract people who enjoy psychological thrillers to come and watch the film. The conventions are also there for a reason- because these types of factors work well with psychological thrillers, so it is important to keep some conventions. It also contests other conventions which is also a good thing because it allows the film to be original. This will also help separate this film from others of the same genre and will keep it from being similar to what people have already seen. For this reason it will attract more potential viewers.
