The setting and location is a very
important aspect to consider when making
a horror film.
 You must consider that the location is a
place which builds a very tense and
uncomfortable atmosphere on it’s viewers.
 A typical location in a horror film would
be the woods or a house, which would both
be set in the night to build the horror
Characters
A typical horror film would include
characters such as; the victim,
villain/killer and the hero.
 The victim usually tends to be a young
vulnerable woman, followed by the villain
who may be either a man, ghost, zombie or
demon.
 Villains are normally shown dressed in
black clothing or a mask so that they can
Props/weapons
The props and weapons used depends on the sort of
horror movie that is made.
A movie that consists of zombies may consist of
weapons such as an axe.
 If it's a modern horror movie, consisting of a human
being as a victim, weapons such as a knife would be
used.
 The use of props and weapons used may also identify
the situation of the characters.
