The document discusses conventions and technical codes commonly found in horror genre films. Some key elements mentioned include isolated or abandoned settings like forests, houses, or hospitals that connote fear; the use of camera angles, lighting, sounds, and editing to build suspense and tension; common props like weapons or masks; and character archetypes like the victim, villain, or police officers involved. Narrative structures frequently follow a formula where a killer returns to prey on immoral teenagers, with one survivor, and themes often deal with good versus evil, the supernatural, or madness.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. • Small communities or isolated places. Urban
environments, dark streets and narrow alleyways. Large
cities or run down ghost towns.
• Anything that connotes isolation or being alone. Often
places with a “dark” history, such as abandoned
houses, hotels and asylums.
• Locations for a good horror genre film could be: Lakes,
Long roads, Highways, Countryside, Farms, Woods,
Cabins, Subways, Underground Tunnels, Hotels,
Abounded Houses, Space-Stations (for Sci-Fi Horror),
Cemetery, Alien Planets (Like Predators), basements,
attics, science lab, Shopping Mall, Cornfield, etc.
Setting
Don’t Ignore. . .
3. Technical Codes• High and Low angles can connote fear and nightmares.
• POV shots are important because they allow the audience to
see the world from the monster’s eye. (Evil Dead has a very
long POV shot when the monster ia chasing the hero through
the cabin).
• Handheld shots make it difficult for the audience to make out
what is happening. Cornfields are a prime example of this,
since the entire scene can be shot with a handheld camera to
promote the feeling of terror and the unknown to the audience
directly through what the character is experiencing.
• Disturbing sounds are very important in a horror movie.
Ambient diegetic sounds like footsteps and non-diegetic
sounds (like a heartbeat) help to provide suspense and entice
the audience.
• Types of shots used like ECU on a victim’s face can help
induce the audience with horror and fear.
• Editing can create unsettling tension and suspense. If the
editing hasn’t been paced up in a while it is a sign that
something is about to jump out and scare you.
4. Iconography• Often uses dark colours like red and black are used(links
to evil, blood, danger etc).
• Lighting is expressive and non-naturalistic, low-key
lighting can help to crate dark shadows and unfamiliar
shapes in the blackness.
• Lighting can be motivated in the world of the film (like
bonfires, fireplaces, torches and bed side lamps).
• Props can help the audience to further identify the genre.
Specific props can be identified with a certain villain or
character (Chainsaws, Machetes, Knife, Claw Gauntlets,
Costumes, Firearms etc).
• Common objects include: Weapons, Masks, Icons of the
Supernatural, Religious insignias etc).
• The iconography of the monsters helps to connote
extreme fear, disgust and terror: Werewolves, Vampires,
Mummies, Frankenstein and many others.
5. Narrative Structure
• Classic narrative structure largely made applicable to the
Horror genre but it can either be left for closure or maybe
perhaps leave room for sequel and thus enable a franchise
(Like Friday the 13th, Halloween and Nightmare on Elm
Street).
• There’s always a hero a protagonist, a man or “final girl” of
the film, keeping with the normal conventions of the genre.
Usually the hero must embark on a mission or quest to kill or
solve problems.
• Some narratives are very formulaic and this is practically
present in sub-genres, most noticeably ‘Slasher’ films.
• After some event that turns the killer insane or by some
childhood past or a psychotic medical issues, the villain
returns to his home-town and always preys on teenagers.
These teenagers represent “immoral” and are quite stupid,
usually they are the ones who start the horror in the first
place or maybe they just get killed quickly and there is
always (sometimes) a survivor, most likely a female
character.
6. Character Types• The Main Protagonist, often the “victim/hero”
of the movie.
• The Villain, often a monster, mutated freak,
alien or serial killer.
• The stupid/immoral teenagers
that always get killed.
• Creepy children.
• Police Officers that can either be good or bad.
• And many more: Ghosts, Zombies, Demons, Psychopath,
Stalker, Weirdo, Werewolf, cheerleader and the list goes
on.
