The film title complements the image and tagline to promote the film, and is typically placed bottom right. The tagline aims to further promote the film and hint at the narrative, usually below the title. Institutional information like production companies is least important and appears at the bottom in a tall font. The release date is clearly visible to inform viewers when they can see the film, often towards the bottom.
Film magazine conventions
Film magazine covers follow certain conventions in their layout and design. The main image is usually a close up or medium shot of an actor promoting the film. The masthead, containing the magazine's name in a large bold font, is always placed at the top to create familiarity. A puff, containing information on new films, is typically located at the top right or left. Banners at the bottom and skylines at the top further promote the magazine. Sell-lines inside advertise the magazine's contents. Details like the barcode, date, issue number and price are kept in small font and less prominent places as they are not important for attracting readers.

The Ultimate Guide to Setting Up Eternal IPTV on Your Devices.docx
Horror through the ages
- 2. The horror genre has been around for many years but it has had a number of key changes...
- 3. THE 1920’s One of the first ever horror films, Nosferatu was released in 1922. Horror films in the 1920‟s were dark, shadowy, gothic, vampiric and featured scenes of mutilation and Nosfuratu is no exception. The horrors of this time reflected the fact that audiences were terrified of mystical monsters found in literature. In the 1920‟s mise-en-scene elements such as costume and setting were used to create a scary effect for the audience. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k51eCnC8ucw&safe=active
- 4. THE 1930’s Horrors in the 1930‟s also featured monsters, they were gothic in style for they often featured howling, wolves, vampires, mists and eerie castles set in far off lands. The 1930‟s was when sound was introduced to horror films. The Bride of Frankenstein was released in 1935 and seen to be one of the greatest horrors ever made, it was also the first to feature a female monster. Dracula was released in 1931and starred Lugosi who was a horror star of this decade. The film included a cape, fangs and blood-sucking, etc. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Nfmh178L98 – Dracula http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zhqCccFsGc&safe=active - The Bride of Frankenstein
- 5. THE 1940’s Horror films were banned in Britain in the 1940‟s because of World War II so America took over. In this decade, horrors featured characters that turned into animals or were half man/half beast. Cat People was released in 1942 and was one of the first to feature film methods used today. It featured a female character that was feared, though attractive, the „monster‟ Irena stalked the streets in cat form, terrorising and killing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkrsymAhI0U&safe=active – Cat People
- 6. THE 1950’s In the 1950‟s teenagers were the main audience for horror films. World War II made reality scarier than on-screen horrors however, audiences did fear the effects of radiation, technological change and scientific experimentation cue, The Fly. The Fly was released in 1958 and was typical of the era, with mutated creates affected by radiation. The Blob was another film released in the 50‟s it featured a amoeba-like creature that petrified a town. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdUsyXQ8Wrs – The Blob
- 7. THE 1960’s Horror historian Andrew Tudor discussed how horror changed before and after 1960. Before, horrors had „closed narratives‟ where the „monster‟ was destroyed, however, post 1960, „open narratives‟ were introduced where the monster was not always definitely destroyed. “The old horror was either dead or dying; a new horror was about to be born”... – Peter Hutchings (The Horror Film)
- 8. THE 1960’s Fears that had gripped the 1950‟s were now gone and the 1960‟s was a period of sexual liberation, drugs, fashion and freedom, it was a time where society changed forever. Monsters of the 1960‟s were now in human form and the murky darkness of the human mind was explored, audiences saw the monstrous potential of man. Psycho was released in 1960, the Hitchcock classic featured a „monster‟ that was a man! The antagonist of the film, Norman Bates looked normal, but on the outset he was a psycho. Hitchcock has claimed he chose the name Norman because it sounds like „normal‟ yet Norman was no where near „normal‟. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NG3-GlvKPcg - Psycho
- 9. THE 1970’s The 1970‟s was the end of optimism that came from the 1960‟s, horrors grew in quality, while tackling society‟s fears simultaneously. The 1970‟s was when the „slasher‟ and „Final Girl‟ were born. Now that the idyllic family of the 1950s had crumbled away, society‟s fears at the time were to do with children and childbirth because of the introduction of „the Pill‟ and the birth defects caused by Thalidomide. The idea that the enemy could be found in your own home was reflected in 1970‟s horror.
- 10. THE 1970’s • Texas Chainsaw Massacre was released in 1974 and is about five friends visiting one of their grandfather's house in the country. The teenagers are hunted and terrorised by a chain-saw wielding killer and his family of grave-robbing cannibals. • The Exorcist was released in 1973, It features a child possessed by evil, reflecting the fear society had of disturbed children in the 1970‟s. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vs3981DoINw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDGw1MTEe9k&safe=active
- 11. THE 1980’s The 1980‟s was a time of technological change and there was an increased use of special effects. VCRs were introduced in homes so horrors could now be watched at home. Horrors of the 80s were all about show, they included lots of colour, SFX, brighter lighting and a full view of gruesome killings. A Nightmare on Elmstreet was released in 1984, it is typical of the 1980‟s as it involves excessive gore and brightly lit sets. The first victim, Tina, is slashed to pieces for having sex, this is a convention of horror. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MLLMASSXSg – A Night Mare on Elmstreet – Tina’s Death
- 12. THE 1990’s In the 1990‟s audiences became too clued up on horror conventions and found them too predictable. They were becoming sick of guts and gore and wanted more intelligent horror. Cue Silence of the Lambs, a disturbing psychological horror that features a serial killer and cannibal, Hannibal Lector. Scream was another film released in the mid 90‟s. Wes Craven acknowledged how genre-savvy audiences were by having characters in the film who were aware of and mocked horror conventions. They still died though...! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQKs169Sl0I – Silence of the Lambs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBgW5UwPVac - Scream
- 13. The 2000’s and Beyond The tragedy of 9/11 changed our view of what is scary. Audiences feared the evil that lurks in our world, especially terrorists. Audiences are now enjoying different kinds of horror such as psychological and supernatural. Modern horrors often feature a game, a race against time (e.g. Saw) or a killing force that cannot be seen. Remakes and spoofs have also became popular in our era. (e.g Scary Movie) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsHCoKGxjLk&safe=active – Scary Movie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8ZEK44gbYI&safe=active - Saw
- 14. The 2000’s and Beyond Horror films shot in a „found footage‟ style have also become popular, e.g. Paranormal Activity and Grave Encounters. This makes the material on screen seem more „real‟ for audiences and therefore more terrifying. Possession and exorcism films have also became popular in this era, such as „The Devil Inside‟ and ‘The Possession’. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8FBRATbJoA - Grave Encounters http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNf8GtSamGk&safe=active – The Possession
