What is a Horror

The reason why iput this powerpoint on my blog was to show you some basic and "simple", typical Horror Movies Ideas. All movies should have a dark and low light theme. Things like a high level of contrast in the frame (Seven) or rare showing the killer in detail (Jaws) are quiete important and will be used trough the whole Films.

What is a Horror-Film?

Horror films are movies that strive to elicit the emotions of fear, horror and terror from viewers, it is TRYING to scare you. It deals with the Fears and Terrors of the audience for an example fear of the other in the darkness fear of the body being ripped / mutilated; our own personal line is being crossed. Emergence of terror at any level is enjoyed from a safe distance by the viewer. Horror-Films work because the hidden (Implicit) or obvious (Explicit) message included within the narrative. Things like rejection or punishment are subjects which deviate from “correct” thinking. If we see Horror-Films from a simplistic point of view the basic message is the nice shy girl = “good”, the “slutty” girl = bad. It deals with thought fears like fears of strangers and hitchhikers which are breaking our personal line. Modern Horror is about defeating with the psychology rather than the supernatural. Horror shows the world very negatively. Are there so many paedophiles in the world? Does every mental patient try to kill us? Probably not. But Horror is the Genre that brings the most money. The audience is fine with the continual reinvention and remaking of every successful Horror product. We wonder why there should be an Indiana Jones but accept the producing Saw 6 or remaking of for an example Nightmare on Elmstreet.

PRELIM TASK EDITING

We first began to write out the different takes we judged as the best and put it in the Logbin. Because we did more takes for one shot we had the opportunity of choosing the best clip. We shot more than one take because it I think it is better for an actor because he gets used to it and as a result acts better! Our choices were influenced by the quality of acting and by the camera movement and use of space. Then we were organizing our shots reffering back the storyboard. We used a sound between a few cuts to make them more seem less, to do that we also used match on action which means that a movements connects cut and frames with each other. We did one shot that was not in the script. The reason for that was because we wanted to give it a strong ending. We gave the dialogue a sense through this shot. The main issue was that our microphone was broken so we had to do a voice over for the vocals and the sound effects. We showed Saskia more than Ben so the audience is on her side. We shot a few close ups of her to increase her insecurity. We set the lighting so it cast a big shadow on the wall which made been more scary and bigger.
