5. MISE EN SCENE
The scenery is normally dark with a feeling of claustrophobia.
It is normally set in abandoned buildings or haunted houses, to
create an extra sense of fear.
Most commonly used props include fake blood, rope, chains,
weapons etc. These add a more dangerous and gory
Costume is most commonly all black or very dark colours, with
rips and stains.
6. TITLES AND FONT
Most horror films and TV programmes have large titles that are
bold, in a distorted and used looking font, to create a sense of
unbalance.
The colours are normally black, white or red as these colours are
often associated with danger or fear.
