Genre: Horror

Types of Horror movies:

Psychological Horror usually deals with a mental and emotional state. Its set to disturb and unsettle viewers.
Splatter films focus specifically on the graphic portrayal of gore and graphic violence.
Home Invasion/ Survival focuses on a video game aspect, but the game is frightening and used to scare the audience, it also adds thrilling effect when seeing the character trying to escape the game.

we would want to use more of the psychological horror in our production as we can play with imagery and it will be better or using hidden themes.

Characters

Characters in the horror genre are hard to categorize, but here are just a few.
The Non-Believer, they usually believe their fellow other characters are overreacting, they tend to be overconfident and some times end up being the first to die.
The Hero is usually isn't in all films, but they tend to show emotion throughout the film and support the other characters. they are usually the ones to survive.
another character in the horror genre would the Hysterical character, they usually stay behind and break down into hysterical moments. they get killed off usually early in the film.

There's a ton of types of characters we could use for the production, I don't believe I will be using the hero character because in our production were trying to portray that there us no heroes.

Plot aspects;
In horror films, plot aspects are hard to label.
common plots include a villain who terrorizes the main characters, this villain usually kills off characters one by one until they get the main character. Paranormal activity is another aspect that is used in many horror films, they usually have scary things like ghost and demons in the area. recently a lot of films have been using unseen presences in horror films, an example of this would be Birdbox (2018), there was a presence there but the audience can't see what is it.

in our production, I feel I would want to either use the villain or the unseen presence because in these categories you can put together a really good idea for the video.

Technology:

I wanna try and use a lot of sound mixing and I feel this genre gives you a good canvas.
