Here is pictures of each scene:
In the first scene above the convention used is setting. We used the whiteboard to create a forest setting at night as most scary movies are set in places like this.
In the second scene the convention was characters. We showed typical stereotypes for characters for example; we used the yellow jelly baby to signify a dumb blonde, she didn't follow the group so she got killed first. The other character we stereotyped was the black jelly baby because it is dark we used it as the killer, in all horror films the killer is displayed as dark and evil so we chose the dark jelly baby to be the killer. We also included a prop of a little red knife to show the dark jelly baby killing the blonde and we placed another red jelly baby laying down next to the blonde to show `blood'.
In the next scene we presented the convention of sound. Since we couldn't make sounds come out of the sweets we drew music notes on the white board, the notes represent both diegetic and non diegetic sound. The diegetic sound was of the girl screaming and the non diegetic sound was the terrifying music that comes on when people are being killed. Characters was also shown here as the next jelly baby to be killed was the red one, red in horror movies used anywhere is to display danger and if a character was in red they were going to die.
In the final scene the convention displayed was props. We used white bowl that was supposed to be a cave, we also thought that it was perfect to use the bowl as it is white and in media white is always used in positive way for example for purity. The green jelly baby got away by hiding in a white cave because it was safe and pure.
