The document discusses how the filmmaker attracted and addressed their audience through various techniques in the film opening. Common horror film conventions like dark colors, a full moon, an off-kilter camera shot, not showing the antagonist's face, and graphic violence were used to intrigue the audience and build tension. Unusual shots like the 360 degree shot of the woods and the extreme long shot of the antagonist watching a dog walker from afar also attracted the audience by creating an unsettling atmosphere and making the audience feel like prey. These techniques drew the audience in to continue watching and addressed their expectations of the horror genre.
Genre analysis
The document discusses key elements of the horror genre that aim to provoke fear in audiences. It notes that horror films use techniques like unusual camera angles, movement, and editing to unsettle viewers. Successful horror leaves audiences feeling scared after watching by building suspense and tension without necessarily showing graphic violence. Common conventions of early horror films include Gothic settings and characters like vampires, ghosts, and werewolves derived from folklore. More modern horrors continue to use themes of blood and death while suggesting terrifying events off-screen to frighten audiences. Music is also important for creating an unsettling atmosphere and raising tension during scary scenes.
Evaluation question 1
The document discusses how the author's short film "Artifice" uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real thriller films. It uses conventions such as building tension throughout the film, uses of sounds and camera techniques like close-ups. It develops conventions by taking the tension to a higher level near the end. The only challenge is that the antagonist wears normal clothes and lives in a regular house, subverting expectations of a more intimidating appearance and home. Overall, it mostly sticks to typical thriller conventions to appeal to the genre's audience.
2. research sf 2017
Ethan conducted a survey of 15-18 year old boys about horror films. The survey found that the fear of the unknown and supernatural are the scariest elements. Most respondents watch horror films occasionally rather than all the time. Gore was a moderately enjoyed element. Younger audiences, especially males, are more likely to watch horror/thriller films due to seeking thrills without real danger. Ethan's target audience for his low-budget horror film will be young males, appealing to their thrill-seeking nature through techniques like POV shots that immerse viewers without needing expensive creature effects.
Target audience
The target audience for horror films is typically 15-25 year olds, as this age group seeks thrills that other genres may not provide. Younger viewers are less likely to be disturbed by violence in films. Males generally prefer horror more than females due to stereotypes about masculinity and thrill-seeking. Horror films also aim for working class audiences, as the thrill can be attained at low cost. Supernatural horror commonly takes place in haunted houses and uses sounds/noises to create tension and suspense. The purpose is to scare and entertain audiences through thrills and raised tension.
Types of documentary
There are several types of documentaries:
Fully narrated documentaries use voiceovers to provide context and explanation for the visuals. Fly on the wall documentaries are observational with little commentary, aiming to show real situations as they unfold. Mixed documentaries combine interviews, observations, and narration to advance an argument. Self-reflexive documentaries have the filmmaker directly address the audience but risk drawing attention away from the subject. Docu-dramas dramatize real events but are limited by not having complete knowledge of what truly occurred.
Me and my movies
The document provides an analysis of the horror genre and two horror films - Repo! The Genetic Opera and Grave Encounters. It discusses how each film fits into or diverges from typical genre conventions. For Repo!, while it contains some graphic violence, its nonlinear narrative structure and blending of genres sets it apart from traditional horror. Grave Encounters more closely follows horror tropes through its setting in an abandoned asylum, use of first-person camerawork, and character archetypes. Both films are examined in terms of their settings, narratives, and adherence to common horror codes and conventions.
Mise en-scene 3 trailers
Low key lighting is commonly used in horror films and trailers to build suspense and inspire fear in viewers by making scenes darker and obscuring what may happen. This mimics how humans actually feel more frightened in low light situations where our surroundings are unknown. Facial expressions seen in the trailers are important for conveying how characters feel and react to scary situations, so viewers can relate to them and try to guess what may occur. Typical settings shown are within cities rather than isolated areas, making the threat of harm seem more possible and personal to viewers who can imagine it occurring where they live. Props like weapons are also used to suggest the threat of violence and allow viewers to assess characters' mindsets or the antagonist's

Term 1 theory work
This document summarizes and analyzes the documentary film "Amy" about singer Amy Winehouse. The writer discusses who or what may have been to blame for Amy's death, noting that her fame and inability to cope with the pressures of stardom contributed.

- 20. HOW DOES A HORROR FILM WORK/APEAL TO A AUDIENCE? A horror film works so well because of its gratification of what's not real and what is an audience watching a horror film knowing its scary and bloody and gory and etc. Knowing this still makes them watch it’s the feeling of knowing but it could be different for each horror movie. Its become so neutral for us to enjoy ‘horror’ some deeming it barbarian and scary in a way horror is disgusting showing body parts ripped up and fed sometimes but us humans have an almost want for it at this point the more we see the more like giving the feeling of its not right but its insanely good to almost be scared? Be disgusted? And so on. A horror film gives us what we want scary scenes and nightmares about that one scene but we as consumer need to know that’s its bad because knowing makes it better as a consumer. From a filmmakers perspective they work on catteries and what works for that horror film and what doesn't for instance filmmakers tend to use tension, emotion, mystery, suspense, gore, terror, and shock in their film thus bringing in more hungry fans who want to actually be scared and frightened. As well as real horror you would think ‘based on a true story might seem unfit and not get a lot of tension but literally the opposite saying its based on a true story pulls viewers in knowing its ’true’ can be truly vile to see the recreation of scenes and murders but as horror consumer see more horrible and unholy stuff they crave more. Horror having the fundamentals of horror is enough and appeals to the audience every time watching and rewatching horror movies can be truly frightening knowing its got the basics but adding new and terrifying elements.
