Genre Research: Horror

 Common camera angles in the horror genre;

Close Up, Tilted Angle, Low Angles, Hand-held Camera Angle,

Wide Angle, Tracking Angle, Birds eye/High angle.

Common Mis-en-Scene in the horror genre:

Some common props in horror films are knives, crosses, machetes,

chainsaws, axes and masks. Horror movies also often use dark lightning and

are filmed in a common setting such as the woods or a dark house. They are also

always filmed at night time.

Common editing aspects in the horror genre:

Jump cuts, Parallel cuts, Cross cuts, and Over-Extended Scenes.

There is also a lot of cgi to make monsters and special effects.

Common sound in the horror genre:

Lots of sudden noise, loud noise, eery noise, high pitched noise

and noise that is unpleasant to the ear. There is also a lot of silence to

build tension during the scene. There is then usually a loud sudden noise to

break the tension

Example films in the horror genre:

Sinister, Hereditary, Insidious, The Conjuring, and The Ring

Some elements of the genre that I like and would use are dark lighting and the setting being in a dark house. I also like over-extended scenes and eery noise. My favorite aspect of this genre that I would like to use is the props. The choice of props really adds to the vibe and theme of the film.

Some elements of the genre I would not like to use is a hand-held camera angle. This is very overused in horror films and every film using this angle is pretty much the same. I also do not like loud noise, it makes the film uncomfortable and not fun to watch.
