Codes and Conventions in Jaws

http://www.slideshare.net/kbamediastudies/codes-and-conventions-in-horror-films?related=1


Jaws follows many of the conventions that are generic in the horror movie genre.


  • The couple are in a secluded location
  • The characters forget about the threat
  • It is dark, the equivalent of the power getting cut off
  • The fact that they are in a secluded location means that no one can hear them 
  • The characters leave the main group
  • The warning that the guy give the girl is ignored by her
  • Someone is killed in the first 5 minutes 
All of these things are stereotypical of a horror movie
