Horror Sub-genres

jamiedawsonvyners

The document discusses various horror sub-genres, including slasher, gothic, psychological, and supernatural horrors. It provides examples for each sub-genre, such as Scream for slasher, Dracula for gothic, The Strangers for psychological, and The Conjuring for supernatural. The examples highlight common conventions and tropes of each sub-genre, such as masked killers and creative killings for slasher, settings involving castles and forests for gothic, reliance on psychological tension and fear for psychological, and themes involving religion and the afterlife for supernatural horrors.

Gothic literature

CarleighBrady

Gothic literature is characterized by settings in medieval castles, dungeons, and old country houses with secret passages. Common stock characters include innocent heroines endangered by cruel and lustful villains. Tales feature supernatural evil such as ghosts, demons, monsters, and black magic involving rape, incest, and murder. The atmosphere is typically gloomy, claustrophobic, terrifying, erotic, and nightmarish as it emphasizes the irrational and explores aberrant psychological states and links to female sexuality and oppression.

Sarcasm

Bernie DeKoven

There are three types of sarcasm or irony identified by the Roman rhetorician Quintilian over 2,000 years ago based on inconsistencies between a statement's literal meaning and its delivery, speaker, or topic. Studies have also found that gender and occupation can indicate a person's likelihood to use and detect sarcasm, with men using it more for self-protection and women for intimacy and vulnerability. Sarcasm can also take the form of ironic insults that appear positive on the surface but intend negativity.

This document provides an overview of science fiction and fantasy genres for a reader's advisory presentation. It discusses key differences between science fiction which focuses on technology and follows physical rules, and fantasy which involves magic and supernatural elements. The document also recommends several prominent authors in each genre and their notable works, as well as suggestions for readers of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series.

Birtish Humour!!!

celia_grn

British humour has developed over centuries and is characterized by sarcasm, slapstick, childish behavior, satire, and racism. Typical topics of British humor include irony, bullying/harsh sarcasm, smut and innuendo, disrespect to authority, the absurd, the macabre, humor in everyday life, the British class system, social ineptitude, loveable rogues, and making fun of foreigners. Successful examples of British humor include TV shows, films, radio programs, and magazines that showcase irony using Charlie Chaplin, humor in everyday life using shows like The Simpsons and Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and humor around the class system and social awkwardness using Mr. Bean.

The gothic horror subgenre as film

Jenny McNulty

Gothic horror originated from Gothic fiction novels of the 1800s, such as Frankenstein and Dracula. It uses elements like desolate landscapes, dark architecture, supernatural occurrences, and characters in danger to create an emotional, visceral response in audiences rather than an intellectual one. Common tropes include ruined abbeys, secret passages, apparitions, and dual worlds representing light and dark. Gothic fiction explores the conflict between subconscious desires and social conventions through the journey of characters between these two worlds.

The history of the horror genre

SmilingJackDrummer

The document discusses the history and evolution of the horror genre in film. It begins with early silent films that featured supernatural elements like Nosferatu and The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari. In the 1970s, films like The Exorcist popularized psychological horror and the theme of evil threatening the family. Special effects advanced in the 1980s with films such as Alien, The Thing, and Evil Dead. The horror genre has historically alternated between supernatural and human threats, exemplified by early films, Halloween and Silence of the Lambs in the 1980s, and recent supernatural-focused movies like Paranormal Activity and The Wolfman.

Our thriller film would be well-suited for advertising in Empire magazine. Empire is a major British film magazine that advertises large blockbuster movies as well as independent films. It has a wide international reach and targets males aged 16-25, which matches the target audience for our 15-rated thriller. Empire previously advertised the film Silent Hill, which featured the actress Jodelle Ferland who also appears in our film. Advertising in Empire could attract audiences interested in Ferland's work and generate buzz for our upcoming independent British thriller.

Horror/thriller movies were first established in the early 20th century to shock, thrill and terrify audiences by bringing their worst nightmares to life. Advances in technology and special effects have changed how horrors are made over time. Nowadays, horrors are also often mixed with other genres like comedy. Common conventions of horrors include terrifying characters, disturbing unexplained behavior, helpless victims, and psychotic killers. The level of gore and special effects used varies based on the type of horror, such as supernatural, psychological, or mystery thrillers.

British Humour

Naamah Hill

British humour is considered superior to American humour. Some key differences are that British humour can be cruel, childish, and focus more on smutty innuendo. It also frequently mocks the English establishment and foreigners through sarcasm and racism. Physical comedy acts like Mr. Bean and Charlie Chaplin are examples of visual humour, while satire makes fun of famous people. Black humour deals with topics like death. Puns and parody are other forms of wit. American remakes of British comedies often fail to capture the same effect.

An introduction to british comedy

Naamah Hill

British humour is considered superior to American humour. It can be cruel, sarcastic, and focus on mocking others through sarcasm, physical comedy, satire, black humour, puns, parody, and topical cultural references. British humour is seen as more smutty, disrespectful of authority, and focusing on mocking people's misfortunes compared to American humour which is seen as less cruel. Sources provide explanations for these differences between British and American senses of humour.

The document discusses the history and genres of horror fiction in cinema. It covers the origins of horror stories in 18th century gothic novels, the classic horror films of the 1930s-1940s produced by Universal Studios, the rise of Hammer Films and Vincent Price films in Britain in the 1950s-1960s, and the emergence of more graphic horror subgenres like slashers and zombies following the end of censorship codes in 1964. It also notes the commercialization of horror in the 1990s that reduced gore and violence, but hopes independent films may help revive daring and innovative horror in the future.

Director Case Study - Michael Bay

rachaeldrake_

Michael Bay is an American film director and producer known for directing high-budget action films. He began his career interning for George Lucas and directed his first feature film, Bad Boys, in 1994. Bay later founded the production company Platinum Dunes, through which he has produced lucrative remakes of classic horror films like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and A Nightmare on Elm Street. For his case study film project, the author took inspiration from three of Bay's films - the isolated setting of Texas Chainsaw, the woodland location and killer's costume from Friday the 13th, and the revenge plot from A Nightmare on Elm Street - to create a slasher film adhering to classic conventions

The document provides background information on Baroness Orczy, the author of the novel The Scarlet Pimpernel. It discusses her other works, the characters and setting of The Scarlet Pimpernel, as well as a brief summary of the plot which involves a heroic Englishman secretly rescuing French aristocrats during the French Revolution. The point of view is mostly limited third person and the document highlights examples of irony used throughout the novel.

MEN ARE FUNNIER THAN WOMEN

CHRISTOPHERGYORGY

Hitchens argued that men are funnier than women based on research. He claims that humor is incentivized for men as a way to attract women, whereas women do not need to be funny to attract men. However, the author provides two counterarguments. First, that women seek humor in partners, so men are motivated to be funny for reproductive purposes. Second, that while some women comedians are very funny, humor is not as existential of a necessity for women as it is for men. The author reviews both Hitchens' perspective and their counterarguments but leaves the conclusion open for debate.

Battle for redemption

mandoza99

The document proposes several film ideas: 1) "Battle for Redemption" - An action film about a former soldier turned criminal competing in a fighting tournament on an isolated island for the chance to win £1,000,000 and redeem his past. 2) A horror film called "E.T.X" where a film student accidentally captures something strange on camera while taking a night walk and investigates further. 3) A horror film called "Wolf Man" with the classic story of a boy who turns into a wolf on the full moon, but he is also in love with a vampire who is Dracula's daughter.

Sight, scent, and sound all play important but different roles in white-tailed deer locating food, avoiding predators, and communicating. Sight is key for detecting movement from a distance but scent is most important for close-range food location and predator detection. Sound serves as the primary method of communication between deer through vocalizations but can also be used to detect approaching threats. Each sense contributes uniquely to the deer's survival.
