My Chosen Genre

The reason why I have chosen the horror genre is because it is easier to have a setting planned. I can also use many different props and iconography i.e. Knives, scary masks and many costumes. You can use a variety of different camera angles and shots. I can also alter the lighting in my shots so it will be good to experiment with different techniques. We have chosen to use the teen horror sub genre because we are teenagers and we can have a slasher antagonist within it. A teenage slasher film has one teenage protagonist who is taunted by the antagonist, who is usually out to make the protagonists life a living hell. We could also use a variety of locations to film our horror film i.e. Woods, haunted house, high school.
