Research of typical Synopsis
The genre 'horror' is usually a recording film or video that contains the iconography as discussed above, including the props such as weapons, like knives, swords, blood stained objects, conventions also used include: dark lighting etc. Quick cuts and close ups are often commonly used to scare the viewers, if a director decided to use long shots then the viewer would know too much about the film, where it is set etc and ruin the film and the mood. The aim of the film is to scare viewers and get our heart rates pumping higher, watching these films make people feel alive. A typical horror film is about a character that is a victim in a dangerous situation that is in danger or under risk of being harmed, there is usually suspense and thrill included.
Our horror opening sequence starts off with a young girl that has escaped from a Mental Hospital, she is psychotic and thinks she can see things, she sees a clown that follows her and eventually murders her by hanging in the forest. Although this is telling a lot of the story in the very beginning, our aim was to do this so that further on in the story, we would go back in time to tell what had happened for the young girl to start seeing things and be put into this institution. The conventions we used were quite typical, we used a murderous weapon, (a noose) and the plot was based in a shaded forest.
