Conventions of Slasher Films and the narrative structure
- victims - teenagers
- Weapons - Pickaxe
- Unknown Villain - Man
- Isolated place - abandoned cabin
- Calm equilibrium - group of teens enjoying the snow
- 20 seconds in, once the victim is alone, crisis starts, fast paced, creates suspense and heightens the levels of terror.
- Flashing shots - disorientates the viewer
- As the music builds, sound becomes more "slasher" as in panting, loud, fast music, screaming - typical conventions
- Contrapuntal sound - twinkly music when axing the window
- The music reflects where they are
- Verisimilitude - Creates a sense of reality, diegetic sounds of pots, pans, floorboards
