Horror genre powerpoint
Horror films aim to frighten and alarm audiences through suspense and invoking our deepest fears. They typically feature an innocent protagonist facing off against a threatening villain or monster. Plots usually involve murders or strange visitors with dark secrets that are revealed at the end. Settings are often dark, isolated, ordinary places to enhance realism and fear. Characters may appear kindly but turn out to be deceitful, twisting the plot. Props like knives, guns, and masks fuel the terror. Shots usually employ long shots and over the shoulder angles to obscure scary images and surprise viewers.
Conventions of a horror movie
Common conventions in horror movies include ominous music and sounds, isolated settings, and certain narrative structures. Technical elements like lighting, camera angles, and editing can also build tension. Iconography such as costumes and props help depict monsters and scary characters. Successful horror movies employ these techniques and tropes to elicit fear in viewers through discovery of threats, confrontations with evil forces, and resolution of conflicts.

The document discusses observations about opening title sequences (OTS) in horror films. It notes that OTS can introduce the horror story and set expectations to feel scared. Camerawork, editing, sound, makeup and effects, and setting can be used to make an OTS terrifying. An OTS also sets the mood and provides insight into the film's location and themes. The document then analyzes the OTS for the video game The Last of Us, noting it is symbolic rather than showing gameplay scenes. It sets the post-apocalyptic story background and mood, while challenging genre conventions with calmer music. The OTS represents characters and presents credits against a dark background with large, clear text.
Thriller proposal
This document provides guidance on preparing a proposal for a thriller film, including opening sequence conventions to consider like introducing characters, setting, and tone.

The document analyzes the opening title sequence (OTS) of the video game The Last of Us. It notes that the OTS uses symbolic imagery to show the spread of a fungal infection, sets the post-apocalyptic mood, and creates narrative mysteries without showing typical horror elements. The OTS challenges conventions through its calm acoustic music choice and lack of intense scenes. It represents characters like a serious female reporter to inform the story. The title displays in bold white text against a black background for clear reading.
Generic conventions of horror
The opening scene of The Woman in Black establishes an eerie atmosphere through its use of generic horror conventions. We see three young girls playing with dolls accompanied by unsettling music, foreshadowing danger. Their strange behavior and a mysterious figure in black hook the audience to learn more. Iconography like screaming and the veil associated with death effectively set the horror tone for the film. The target audience is likely those 25 and under who enjoy horror genres, and the film attracted viewers through its young actors like Daniel Radcliffe from Harry Potter.

The document discusses film trailers and analyzes the trailers for the films Inception and Law Abiding Citizen. It notes that the Inception trailer uses a slow, beating soundtrack that increases tension and suspense. It features first-person narration and fade-in/out shots of film scenes. Symbols like black suits and guns imply suspense and action. The Law Abiding Citizen trailer also starts with a rating before showing the protagonist on a roof with mellow music. It includes shots of violence and escalating action scenes of police and weapons as the music intensifies, implying danger and threat. Both trailers effectively establish the genres through conventions like costumes, music, and visually exciting scenes.
