Codes and Conventions

One code and convention that is used within my half of the production is the use of a weapon within the narrative which is used to cause harm. This can be seen at 1:23 of my half where the teacher character has been stabbed with the weapon and is now lying there deceased because of its use. Within the genre it is typical for violence to occur as a means of keeping the audience watching on there feet as they are seeing the narrative unfold. This is done with tension which them to question what will happen next thus keeping their interest.  Hence how the code and convention of harm is used with the fate of the teacher in order to keep the audience interested with the narrative and keep them wondering as to what is going to happen next.

Another code and convention that has been used within my half of the production is with the creation of suspense due to the choice of music that can be heard. This can be heard at the end of my half of the production where the music comes in at the end along with the title of the film. This is used to create suspense as with the ending of introduction of introduction being left at a cliff hanger it the use of music is creating suspense as it leaves the audience wondering what is happening next within the narrative and as of such makes them want to know what happens next. Hence how another code and convention is used within my half of the production to create suspense through the use of music at the end.

A third code and convention that has been used within my half of the production is through the use of editing that is used in order to create tension that is within the narrative. This can be seen between 1:06 and 1:21 of my half of the production where the lights go out and everyone in the room begins to panic. This is creating tension as we are not providing a visual image of what is occurring simple using audio in order to convey what is occurring. This is done so deliberately that it leaves the audience wondering what is going on thus making them whish to continue further, Hence how a third code and convention has been used within the narrative in order to build tension as well as keeping the audience interested in what is occurring.
