1. Genre- horror
Expected to see (location) - the setting of the scene normally
makes the audience instantly know what kind of genre the
movie will be e.g. a bright scene would give of a happy vibe for
the film whereas a dark scene gives a scary vibe suggesting a
horror movie. The most overly used scene for a horror is a
haunted house.
The location of the background sets each scene showing where
the characters are and what situation they are in.
Sound- the sound creates tension and suspense to a scene and
guides to character to being scared, confident or sad. It also
gives the audience the suggestion that something may happen
good or bad. The editors may use non-diegetic sound and
diegetic sound to show what the character can and can’t hear.
Real horror movies- horror movies that are based on a true story
give a lot more meaning to the film as well as thought; the
audience takes that on board making them feel scared, shocked
or worried as they know it is based on a personal experience.
Fictional horror movies- with a fictional horror movies still get
frightened but they feel safe and calm knowing that it wasn’t a
real story and that it can’t happen to them.
Horror movies normally use props like knives and guns etc. but
for costume and make up in most scenes they use fake blood to
represent that someone has got hurt or killed.
Editing- normally on horrors the editing team use a range of
transitions from shot to shot such as cut to represent a quick
action, fade to represent a death or passing to make it emotional
or to show that the movie has ended and left on a cliff-hanger
