In the 1930s-1940s, Universal Pictures released films like Dracula and Frankenstein that helped establish the horror genre. Advances in technology in the 1950s-1960s allowed for more advanced special effects in films like Godzilla and helped directors like Alfred Hitchcock cement the genre's place in history. Low-budget horror films' financial successes in the 1970s-1980s led to higher-budget films that changed audience expectations, with films like The Exorcist being among the first major commercial successes. Modern horror films from the 1990s to present continue innovating with sequels
Western
The Western genre originated in the early 1900s with silent films like "The Great Train Robbery." Westerns grew in popularity during the silent era and rose to prominence in the 1930s as Hollywood produced many low-budget Westerns. Iconic director John Ford further boosted the genre in 1939 with his landmark film "Stagecoach." In subsequent decades, Westerns evolved to emphasize values in the 1940s-1950s or feature more antihero protagonists in the 1960s-1970s to remain popular. Variations include Spaghetti Westerns that were action-oriented Italian productions. Advances in film technology have enhanced the genre's realism over time. However, Western production has slowed as audience interest

Test Shots PowerPoint
The document discusses test shots that a film group took over Christmas break to prepare for their horror film trailer. They took test shots at the main filming location, Paige's house, focusing on scenes they were concerned about in terms of lighting and cinematography. Their favorite test shot was of the house, showing a bright light in one window against a dark background and sky. Additional test shots for a scene of a character running from the house were too dark, so they will add more lighting when filming. Further test shots evaluated lighting and angles for jump cut scenes involving a TV, trash can, and chair.
Masthead design powerpoint
My group and I each designed 3 masthead options for our horror film trailer using fonts from dafont.com labeled "horror". I found 3 fonts - "Something Strange", "Face Your Fears", and "Real Horror" - and added effects like glows, shadows, and embossing in Photoshop. We then combined our designs and narrowed it down to the 3 most effective mastheads, which were the 3 at the bottom of each sheet.
Media Production Company Logo Drafts
The production company group decided to keep their name "relive" but take a different approach to creating their logo. Instead of working together on one logo, each member will individually create 3 logo designs. They will then reconvene to choose the logo that looks most professional and suitable for their genre and narrative. The document provides examples of existing media company logos and then shares the 3 logos one member created. Their logos are simple images relating to filmmaking like a camera, clapperboard, or the company name in a distinctive font.
Test Shots for Magazine and Poster
This document appears to be a test shoot for a film magazine and poster featuring Abi Jackson. It likely contains photos of Abi Jackson that could be used in promotional materials like a magazine article or movie poster. The main purpose seems to be to take photos of Abi Jackson for potential use in advertising a film through a magazine or poster.
Poster and Magazine Test Shots
This document provides reasons for selecting or deselecting test shots of a model, Paige, for use in a magazine and poster. For the magazine, three shots remain under consideration because they show facial expressions of fear and eye contact with the camera. For the poster, eye contact is considered essential, and most shots were rejected for lacking eye contact or having an unwanted facial expression. In conclusion, an image has been chosen for the poster but further research is needed to choose between three potential images for the magazine.
Survey monkey results
The document summarizes the results of a survey about horror film preferences. 40 participants completed the survey, mostly female friends and family of the survey designer. The survey found that while romance was the overall preferred genre, 12% of participants preferred horror. It also found that participants expected horror film trailers to contain jumpy cuts, dark lighting, loud noises, and mystery, and be rated 15 or 18. The survey results will inform the creation of the designer's horror film trailer project.
The importance of film trailers
Film trailers are shown before movies in theaters to attract potential audiences and inform them of release dates. Trailers showcase clips from upcoming movies to pique viewer interest and show people what to expect. This strategy is effective because moviegoers in theaters already enjoy films as entertainment and are more likely to see a movie if interested after its trailer. Trailers also directly state release dates so interested audiences know when they can view the full movie without having to search for the information later.

In the 1950s, the genre shifted towards more science fiction-based horrors as technology advanced. The 1970s and 80s saw the rise of slasher films like Halloween and Friday the 13th.

History of Horror
- 1. The History of Horror Abi Jackson
- 2. Where Did Horror Come From? The roots of horror films were made as an extension of literature and began in the late 1700’s.These horror films were ‘gothic horror’ and were developed by both UK and US writers.The reason they were called ‘gothic’ horror films was because they referred to the medieval buildings that they took place in such as ancient castles, abandoned dungeons and forests during thunder storms.
- 3. Horror Films Developing. When films began to have sound in the late 1920’s, this transformed films completely – especially horror films. Without sound, horror films would not have anywhere near the same impact as they do nowadays. From the 1960’s, there began a huge explosion of different styles in the genre of horror as it began to become a lot more popular.The film ‘Psycho’ was released in the 1960’s and shocked audiences as nothing like this had ever been released into the film industry before then. Eventually, became the rise of independent horror films as well as conglomerate.
- 4. Modern Day Horror In the modern day, horror films now use more CGI effects to create scares. Psychological Horror andThriller have remained popular throughout the 90’s and 2000’s but there are also more modern versions of horror films. Desensitisation has now occurred whereby people are becoming more used to the gore of horror films and therefore are not as affected by it as they would’ve been in the past. Because of this, horror films are using a lot more violence.
- 5. Then vs Now 1960’s horror film - Psycho 2016 horror film –The Conjuring 2 When the film Psycho was released, people were shocked and struggled to watch the film. However, nowadays due to desensitisation, people would not be anywhere near as affected by it because they are far more used to its content as brutal killing is often used in horror films. If people in the 1960’s were exposed to the content of The Conjuring 2 then they would not be able to watch it because they would be far to disturbed and frightened by it.
