Choosing Our Genre: Horror



Our group chose to do Horror as our genre, we realized that as a group we all liked different type of movie genres: comedy, action, thrillers etc. but we all agreed that collectively we all enjoyed watching horror films from the classics: The Shining (1980), The Exorcist (1973) and Child's Play (1988) right to the new contemporary ones Insidious (2010) and Annabelle (2014). So we all related to the different types of movies.

Also we agreed that  Horror would be most fun to shot in terms of the technical and symbolic codes. We can also play around with the lights and special effects  making it look realistic and more scary for the audiences watching our trailer . We also like the conventions of the typical Horror movies for example the common iconography: blood, dark lights, the secluded area we thought that theses aspects would be very interesting to play around with and make for our own to get the sense of fear in our trailer.

With choosing we can also play around with filming and the narrative. Its not restricting as another genre would be, we almost have no boundaries when doing anything. This gives us a chance to be more creative and put our spin on it working with the mise - en - scene etc. We going to have a lot of fun working with this genre.
