Whats needed in making a good horror...

There are several things which will be needed in our horror film to make it more effective. Using these things will make the audience feel whats needed to help make it scary, without using these, the film may not have the impact we want on our audience;
  • Camera angles - different angles gives us different feelings and different points (low camera angle, making something seem dominant in a scene, useful in horror films that could possible represent an attacker)
  • Lighting - dark lighting will be used in our film considering our genre is horror, this will hopefully make our audience feel scared whilst watching it, and characters in the film seem more vulnerable
  • Sounds - such as high pitched noises, normally associated with horror. The sounds in horror films are a nessecity to give it the full on effect to anticipiate to get from watching it
  • Setting - dark isolated areas are the most common area to have in horrors, this could be because no one is there to help when vulnerable characters need it. It also puts the characters in one area to not confuse the audience and to make us aware of the area it's set in
