Horror Genre Research

Typical Features of the Horror Genre:  Horror films have certain codes and conventions that can be used to define the genre of film. Such as Low key Lighting, fast paced cuts and things such as quotes from interviews and there is always a threat and occasionally investigation of sounds or noises. 

We are going to create our film opening in the Horror Genre and to do this we plan to include; Flashbacks from Characters, Fast paced cutting as well as cross cutting, using Handheld camera work to make the audience feel like they are a part of the action and put them closer to what is happening as well as highly naturalistic acting to create the look that we are going for. we also want to create an Enigma for the audience which will make them question what is to come.
