Conventions of Horror/ thriller Death the players die if they get the riddle wrong Blood/gore their death will be horrible Abandoned places the places which are filmed are old and scary, look abandoned e.g.. A cellar, woods Suspense/ tension suspense is build when the players have to answer the riddles, see if they are going to die or not Action - action is built up when the players have to complete their challenges Scary the gamekeeper is scary, its also scary because is includes gruesome scenes Psychological the riddles are difficult and play on your mind Black/grey/red these are the colours associated with horrors films, red red room that player 12 is stuck in. Black and grey - overall the lighting in the film will be dark and gloomy, the gamekeeper dressed in black, woods and cemetery black and grey

Target audience
We are targeting our film towards 16 to18 years old, this is because the characters in our film are between the ages of 17- 18 therefore the audience will be able to relate to these characters. At the beginning of the film they are all having fun, drinking with their friends which is typically what teenagers do. Also, when we did our market research we gave our survey to teenagers within this age range to see what they preferred to see in a film. We have tried to include as many features preferred audience to ensure that we meet our target audience.
