Genre Research- Horror

 Horror is a film genre that seeks to elicit fear or disgust in its audience for entertainment purposes. Horror films often explore dark subject matter and may deal with transgressive topics or themes. CAMS in horror films go as such. For camera angles a high angle makes the characters look vulnerable. Movements used in this genre are pans. A slow pan may reveal something scary. For shots a handheld camera shot. This is used very often in horror films to add a sense of reality. CLAMPS in horror films go as such. Costumes should be detailed and scary for obvious reasons. Lighting may be dim and lots of shadows are created to build fear. Acting in horror films includes a shock factor. This means acting calm then suddenly acting scared. Makeup in horror films should be very detailed on the actors that represent something to induce fear. Such as a clown. Props in a horror film may vary. Weapons for the inducers may provoke fear from viewers. The setting also may be in a secluded area, perhaps places that have been uninhabited. Editing techniques such as a jump cut to have a shock factor. Some sounds could include scary and suspenseful music. Examples of horror films are Sinister and Candyman. Elements I would use are scary costumes and dim lighting. What I would not use and does not appeal to me is the make-up details since we already have an idea of what we will do to induce fear.
