Research into Horror Synopsis

In today lesson we began to look at synopsis of different films. we each looked at three different synopsis to try and understand the function of genre in films and how the concepts are defined. the synopsis briefly tell us what the film is about.

I looked at two synopsis and they where:

The last Exorcism

Saw VI
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1233227/synopsis

I looked at the different element of the a genre that was in the synopsis. Many horror synposis have common element that link them together. most of the have the same Plot and Stock Situations thi give the audience something to think about. They all have praganist character and antaganist character. they all share in common the sense of knowing what doing to happen, audience expections, we all know how is going to end.
The different convention that are in the film synopsis make the stoylines different for example horror theme of the film or the stock character that they used.
