Deconstruction of Genre
Genre was a key area for us a group to all agree on what genre would be appropriate and what we wanted to do. As a group we all decided we wanted to do horror but it was just a case of narrowing it down to what subgenre of horror at which we came to a conclusion of supernatural horror.I also found that in these films below the use of dark and red colours are used to show the use of the horror film as they all tend to be associated with black spirits and something bad always goes wrong. It is effective to have this on the title because it can indicate what the film is going to be like.
I then researched different types of films that were supernatural and some of the most recent ones are shown below.
When researching I found that the conventions of a supernatural horror includes:
- a demon or spirit
- children that are the victims
- a religious symbol is usually used
- the location of supernatural horrors tend to be in houses however for example the Women in Black has the setting of a house and the woods and a small town/village
- an object at which the demon or spirit uses to connect to and then draws the vulnerable child in
- also the use of sound is usually child rhymes or creepy music boxes with other effects of a slow eerier soundtrack
