Use of conventions

In our film, we incorporated camera shots and angles to present the audience our genre: thriller and horror. One of the camera shots that we used to develop the genre was the high angle shot of Patty laying in Ally's bed, tightly holding her portrait to her chest. This shot presented to the viewers Patty's obsession with Ally and also how crazy she is since she broke into Ally's house while she was at the beach. Also, the mid shot of Patty walking through Ally's backyard develops the genre of thriller and horror by representing Patty as a deranged person since she is attempting to break into Ally's house. Our group's film is advertising to a younger crowd as the girls in The Neighbor are in high school. Ally, Ashley, and Sarah identify as the judgmental, rude girls in high school and Patty is the girl who gets teased because she looks and acts different than everyone else. The Neighbor is the epitome of high school since there are always that group of girls or guys who pick on individuals as they are different and not 'normal'.
