3. Horror movies: Task three -Dicuss
The convention of the movie Psycho was effective because it scared me, the convention of the movie Scream is the same as Psycho.
Psycho was a low-budget film but i recon most low-budget film make the best movies and they have this edge of scaring you more. Scream had become the highest-grossing slasher in the US in unadjusted dollars by earning itself $173 million worldwide.
How does the director's use of the convention reflect current events of the time?
This convention hadn't changed that much from Psycho being one of the first horror movies with the knife as a weapon to Halloween using that as a weapon and Scream the knife hadn't change and those were the three movies we talked and discussed very close about.
It kind of scared you a little maybe you shouldn't sleep before marriage and steal money then go stay in a motel in the middle of nowhere or have sex, talk about having sex, drink or do drugs or you will die! so that kind of scared the young teenagers and made them look and decide not to do what they are doing or be more careful

2. Horror movies: Task two - Explain
Most of the horror movies were made after the movie “Psycho”as some scene were really similar to "Scream" as they used the knife, falling down the stairs, revealing the killer at the end, and a lot more other little details that you see are in these two movies.
This convention was used by the killer to kill the victims and it is really not a nice why to get liked because it HURTS. It just puts the movie together because a knife just scares you as a person. The idea we as a Media Studies class got that it is a phallic meaning and the idea behind the knife's meaning is funny but kind of true if you think of it. It doesn't really reveal a big attitude to the director just that he knows how to make you SCARED. "Weinstein explained that although he agreed with their assessment that the film was "intense", the film also had comedic elements and satire; it was not just a horror film glorifying violence. The MPAA reviewed their decision; shortly thereafter the film was granted an R rating." The audience loved this movie because it gives you a real scary and the way the CONVENTION was used good as the weapon that killed all the victims, and the film makers think it was to the audience's expectations as the made other movies after that Scream 1, 2, 3 and 4 and they made some remake's of Psycho too.
These two horror movies PSYCHO and SCREAM was and still is a classical horror!

HORROR MOVIES!!
1. Horror movies: Task one - Convention.
PSYCHO
First one am going to do is “Psycho” because it was the first movie where they start to use a KNIFE that means a phallic symbol in the horror movies “Psycho”, “Halloween” and “Scream”. Those where the three movies that we watched that really scared me in a way meaning that you don’t know what is going to happen next because in “Psycho” the main character was killed off first and that kind of made a big twist that you don’t know what’s happening next because when “Marion takes a shower at the Bates Motel, she is metaphorically cleansing away her sins because she already decided to return home with the money”, this quote is from The Ultimate Film Guide. When she is in the shower the camera keeps cutting to the shower head and then to her face and you wanting to know what’s going to happen but then threw the shower curtain you can see someone coming with a KNIFE and then the killer opens the curtain and Marion screams and the person stabs her and just keeps stabbing her till she dies because of losing to much, after that he cleans the bathroom and wraps her up in the shower curtain and stuffs her in the car and dumps the car in a swamp.
SCREAM
Now the second movie am going to do is “Scream” and scream is a pretty good movie because it was really scary because the killer would phone you then ask you what is you favourite horror movie and if you answer him right or wrong you still die because in the end of the first Scream movie Billy Loomis says “the best of this is when we ask you a question and you get it wrong you die and IF you get it right you die anyway!” this what Billy told Sydney at the end then he tries to kill her but she wins at the end.
