Setting:
The setting is usually placed in an abandoned forest, dark street, small down - anywhere that is isolated. these locations are typically used as they are perfect to house a killer. a small town can often be the best location has it is unexpected to have a flaw in a perfect town. However, there is plenty of space to hide house to conceal a killer. Horror films are typically set in unfamiliar locations in which the audience cannot relate too.
Sounds:
Dietetic sound- this is the sound we assume the characters will hear in the film e.g. screaming/explosions/weather/nature. Although explosions may be edited into later on in the film, we assume the character would have heard it.
Non-Dietetic sound- this is added into the film in the editing stage e.g. music
Soundtrack- the recorded element of the film- this would be the dramatic music in the background
emphasising what is happening on screen.
Pleonastic sound- exaggerated sound- this would be the sound of cutting bone.
Contrapuntal- sounds do not match what is happening on screen- having upbeat music in the background during a murder.
Silence- nothing can be heard- this will be used to create tension
Monologue- when a single person is talking- this can be used to further the development of a character.
Dialogue- two people having a conversation- this can be used to slowly leak information to the audience to keep them intrigued.
Multilogue- multiple people speaking- this can be used to further the plot.
Ambient sound- background noise- this will be used to create a sense of realism.
Empathetic sound- sound that reflects the scene- intense music could be played during a murder.
Other Sounds:
Voice over- the voice of a character that is not shown.
Sound bridge- when the music carries on to the next scene to make a smooth transition.~
Synchronous- sound that matches movements in the scene.
Asynchronous sound- sound that matches the action in the film but is not synchronised
The combination of all this will create an effective and successful horror opening sequence as it will include the necessary aspects for our coursework to make our film believable to our target audience.

You start by identifying the conventions of horror films which is good and the rest is simply listing definitions of terminology. This needs sorting out. A list of terminology is not what will help- identify the conventions of the genre
