The document provides suggestions for creating a low-budget horror film, including relying on strong acting rather than special effects, using exaggerated fonts to emphasize fear, incorporating black and red colors that symbolize danger and blood, and setting the story in an abandoned but typically innocent location like a school, house or forest.

1. Horror Mood-board
Many psychological horror films play
on the acting skills of the protagonist.
The Shining demonstrates that you do
not need SFX to scare viewers. This
will be useful to us as we have such a
low budget
Horror films font is often over
exaggerated to emphasise the fear. We
could use this to match the genre we
have set
Horror films often use black & red
to scare their audience. Black is a
dark and gothic colour. Red can
symbolise danger and blood. We
could use this in our film to
symbolise the insanity of an
individual
A typical convention of horror films is the
use of abandoned areas. We could have
ours set in somewhere that is typically seen
as innocent, for example a school, house or
forest.
