Conventions, contract, audience

From beginner to film maker

We decided to make genre of our film to be a horror thriller. We wanted to keep the same typical values involved in this genre yet change people’s views and exceptions of a horror thriller. When going in to see a horror thriller you expect to be scared, on the edge of your seat, and we wanted to keep this. Yet by changing the typical way of doing this either through gore or monsters we wanted the audience to feel the same emotions but in different circumstances. We wanted to make film scary through the audience’s imagination. By making the film complex and confusing we wanted the audience to give assumptions to what might happen next. We wanted to make this film as unique as possible, giving it a whole new twist in the horror thriller genre. We changed typical story lines by deliberately making the audience believe in their imagination and how far there imagination can take them. We still kept the crowd pleasing horror techniques, by adding in jumpy actions and frightening sequences. by playing with the genre of horror thriller we wanted to change the ever going common style of scary and gore ridden films, by going against this more ever more popular norm we wanted to show that there is more to horror and thriller than people think. The main objective was to let the audience enjoy the sequence however they see it. By giving them a thrill and a memorably experience which may lead them to tell their friends and watch the film again and again.
