C) Iconography

The score also proves to be very significant throughout the film, as we made the decision not to use any dialogue once the film enters disequilibrium. This allows the score to create all of the

tension. The music is very eerie and very conventional of the horror genre, climaxing at the most tense and exciting parts of the film.

Iconography follows conventions to some extent, however the main prop- the torch – could also heavily connote action or adventure, placed in the right scenario. Due to the time of day the

story is based, the torch proves to be very significant. By keeping the setting essentially dark, it allows the audience to see what is happening, whilst still playing on the fear of the unknown and

continuing the tension cause by the faceless threat, very typical of horror films.
