My Chosen Genre

I have chosen to create a film within the horror genre my reasons for this are that firstly a horror film is very identifiable as i has unique iconography for example there is always a weapon within a horror film either the antagonist or the protagonist using it to kill or defend themselves.

The antagonist or monster will also have their face covered or obstructed in someway although it can be done with lighting often a mask if worn, taking away a antagonists face makes them seem inhuman and emotionless.

Secondly i have chosen to do a horror film as the target audience for them are teenagers, due to the fact all the actors will be teenagers it will be easier for them to identify with.

The genre also leaves me room to experiment with things such as camera angles, props, lighting and spooky music.

Finally horror movies are very cost effective, there are only a few props such as weapons and masks that need to be used and the setting is usual a open forest or house which are easy to find.
