Mise en Scene

Mise en Scene:

These are all the things that are put into the scene e.g. the setting and decor. Narrative films often manipulate the elements of mise en scene to intensify or undermine the ostensible significance of a particular scene.

Lighting:

Light effects the way colours are rendered, both in terms of hue and depth, and focus attention on particular elements of the composition. Most mainstream films rely on the three point lighting style, and its genre variations.

Summary/Plot Line and Narratives:

There are three typical horror elements found in many horror movies:

A fierce creature is the first typical element found in horror movies. A lot of movies in this genre use fierce animal to make a plot, making that animal huge, savage and intelligent can without a doubt horrify people. Using characters who are frightened all the time and are running away from the creature also excites people. These characters always succeed in escaping from some danger, but sometimes fail to escape from other dangers.

The supernatural is the second thing which is used as a typical horror element in this movie category. Supernatural things are often used to scare people and have a unique style and have become very popular.

The third horror element is murder. Filmmakers often use a scary human character to be a typical element. In some movies, the character wears scary clothes and a mask as he commits the murders. These movies nearly always start with a group of friend or people and each one gets killed until there is a revelation of the murderer in the end of the movie. During this time the audience anticipated who is the murderer and most of the time incorrect. These are also conflicts at the end of the movies, which surprise people as most conflict are related to revenge.

This helps our concept as it gives us an idea of what to base our concept around and how to go about doing that.
