Amityville (Dougles, 2005)
In the opening clip of the Amityville Horror there are several traditional generic conventions used. These include character exposition whereby the main characters are almost immediately introduced which positions the audience with vital charactors or an antagonist or protagonist. Also the use of dark colours and rural landscapes, complimented by a large, old fashioned house set the scene for a traditional Horror setting. The use of weather also plays a big part in this aspect of the setting as the classic thunder and lightening storm create tension and unease, perfect for the genre.
