Concept of Horror Film

During our lesson on the 14th of September, we got into our groups and brainstormed all our ideas about the general concept of a horror trailer. In our brainstorms, we discussed many different aspects of what would be involved with a horror movie. We mentioned what the different locations/setting are? e.g. park, woods, house at night.. What is Horror? e.g. scary. weary, dark, bloody.. Who are the audience? e.g. adults, teenagers.. What type of music/sound is used in Horror's? e.g. non diagetic, diagetic.. What type of props are used? e.g. knifes, chain-saw, blood & costumes.. What influences you towards your horror trailer/movie? e.g. research on other horror movies/trailers and find out what your audience want.. Below is a print screen of the task we carried out:



I carried out some research about 'What is Horror?' and below I have inserted a brainstorm I produced consisting of all the different elements associated with horror:


The Prezi slide I have inserted Below is to emphasize on horror characters a bit further. This shows all the different types of characters which have been used in previous horror films and gives me an idea on characters I can use for my horror trailer. Horror characters either look scary and are scary or they don't look scary at all but play a big part in the horror aspect of the film, for example they may use a cute young girl like in The Orphan but she turns out to be the horror character:
