This is another good
image as we can clearly see good use of horror convention so as to convey the
horror. The use of a phallic symbol
is very typical of the horror genre, while the use of clothing outside our usual CDI
also shows this character as out of whack.
His body language and Facial expression also tell a story as
he shows his anger to the camera, as is typical of antagonists. Finally the location conforms to horror genre
conventions. It is clearly isolated with few escape options. This is very
typical of the genre and conveys the message of no escape. Overall all three
images conform to the horror genre, thus conforming to Thomas Schatz genre
theory, as they stick within the realm of conventional horror.
