Genre - Horror

Definition of 'Genre' - A category of things distinguished by some common characteristic or quality.


Horror is my chosen genre for two main reasons: It is simple and very effective. If the filming is pulled off correctly and the editing likewise, it will draw the viewer in because they will be constantly on-edge and will therefore want to know what will happen. As a lot of teenagers are interested in horror due to it's eerie surroundings, I am included in the target audience. This is help produce ideas for my film as I understand what people like and what scares them. 



I believe that sounds are the main ingredient to what makes a good horror film. This is because there is barely any, if not at all, speech, therefore it is down to the sound we hear to enhance what we see, making the film much more mysterious and frightening. The quieter the ambience in the background of the film is, the easier we are to jump when we see the antagonist, as a loud sound effect can be added at that point.
