Jeepers Creepers Analysis

This is the chase scene of the Jeepers Creepers. This is in the horror genre there are many conventions to it being a horror movie for example one of them being the mysterious murderer, we see a creepy guy getting rid of dead bodies this is common in horror movies because the villain needs to look really scary. The next convention we see is that the phone does not work this is common in horror movies as they need to make it more intense and keep us into the movie. The last is the chase scene this is commonly seen in action movies but in this case its scary as there is a chance of them dying. The effective camera angles are ones where the camera shows them in the care and shows the truck behind them a mid shot showing them all and how there being chased. Another effective shot is the aerial long shot showing the chase happening and showing that there vulnerable right now. 

We find out some information about the characters in the chase scene for example we know that the bad guy is creepy and a murderer. We also find out that these main characters are mid teens. We do not find out much so we are left asking a few questions like who is this creepy villain? Who are these characters? and Will we find out who this creepy villain is? We ask these question to keep us hooked. 

Some sounds we hear are the intense music playing to make it more scary and put us in the edge of our seat this is commonly seen in horror movies and is a non diegetic sound. Some other sounds we hear are the diegetic screaming of the kids this is effective because we feel how terrified they are right now.
