The ShiningShows many typical conventions of the horror genre:0 Stereotypical male killer, who has lost his mind.0 Isolated setting.0 References to spirits and the past and ending that confuses the viewer.0 Hopeless female and young child who survive in the end. (Berger “Men act women

appear”)0 Child who gets taken over by an outside force/ spirit.0 Blood and gore, use of dangerous weapons like an axe and knives to injure and kill.0 The use of dramatic music for suspense.0 Creepy little girls, who are actually dead.0 Dramatic weather used for pathetic fallacy, to add tension and suspense.

Final destinationShows many typical conventions of the horror genre:0 Stereotypical use of a group of teenagers, each killed off one by one, all in gruesome

ways.0 One survivor in the end.0 Plane and house explosion.0 Cheat death, so they must die.0 Male protagonist, men are in control, the women look up to them. (Propp- “male

hero vs damsel in distress” {the women die})0 Pathetic fallacy of leaves blowing in the wind of the storm creating tension.0 Short takes to create excitement and tension for the viewer, seemingly more action.0 Close up reaction shots of each character, making the audience emphasise with

their horror and sorrow.0 Non diegetic suspense music that gets faster as the action takes pace.
