KILLER’S IDENTITY IS A MYSTERY
• Most Slasher films will have a killer whose identity is unknown for most of the film, sometimes all of it. This is to keep the audience interested by leaving his identity up to them and as a narrative tool, so the protagonists have something to investigate.
• In my media product, we have used this with our own villain for these reasons and to also make him more sinister as he is faceless murderer

YOUNG CHARACTERS
• Certain films use age as a way so the characters can relate to the audience. An example of this is a Coming of age drama. These films use teenagers and they appeal to teenagers.
• In my media product, the main characters are young, as to attract people in the same age gap.

LOCATION
• A horror films setting is key. It would be set somewhere ‘normal’ such as a school or woods, as to have the audience in a familiar setting so they can then have a new fear for it.
• In my media product, I used a common setting of horror films. I used a wooded area for narrative purposes, as the killer kills his victims there, and for the purpose above, as to make a familiar setting scary for a viewer.
