 Convention of editing: - T he editor (naila) selected the footage she wanted to add into the film opening and editing them together  - The editor used parallel editing to show flash and the present time  - during the first minute we used slow paced editing and slowly slowly moved up to fast paced editing to add the tension and make our audience get tense or nervous till the last lighter shot. - visible editing during our title and the green screen of blood dripping down

  Conventions of sound: -  when it comes to sound it's a very important element that is used in film to set the atmosphere and the scene.  -We used music to set the vintage atmosphere, use of brass for the beat drop also used to create suspense , the built up suspense music for the face reveal, and the birds chapping during the establishing shot - non digetic were used mainly to impact our audience by making them nervous through using them  - the vintage and tense music added in to give it a weird and killer psychopathic feel to through out the whole opening

  Convention of camera: - The first establishing shot helped us to establish the location of where, to show the graveyard and the store room. - The mid shots to show the car, stepping out of the car and the tracking shot, the character with the cross sign , keys in the hands. - The close up shots of stepping in the hand, the knife and lighter shot for the killer scenes to show danger and create suspense, - We tried to use as much pyschological thriller camera conventions as much as we could during shooting which were mostly focused during filming close up shoots.

The blood dripping down it's a green screen that we used with our title https://youtu.be/Z-046a5_61M

  Title   We went through a whole brainstorm session, trying to come up with our title. We flooded each other with multiple ideas than it hit us. We remember our final shot next to the graveyard , where she is praying , it's her final shot of her just praying so from there we came up with our title 'The Final Prayer' because this is first and final prayer before she leaves 

The brass sound that we got added in was from YouTube   https://youtu.be/s-H0RlBc46U The bird chirping sound in the beginning opening scene https://youtu.be/TKhOKnkxbAY Music we used through out the whole film https://youtu.be/uMCSdgkdOJc

Research When it comes to pyschological thriller, it's viewed by almost everyone , both males and females. If we do further research pyschological thriller is viewed mostly by 18+ audience as if includes violence and pyschological issues with can be disturbing for the younger audience but during our pre production process we mainly focused on making our film opening not as disturbing such as not use too much violence which could effect our audience so in that way we can target our younger audience as well.  Statistics:                       Males , 35 and younger, view pyschological thriller movies on a 36%  age of 35 and above, they view it on a 57%. Females ,however, 35 and younger view phycological thriller on 45% and 35 and above view it on 60%.
