Things I would expect in a horror film

One the main things I would expect to see in a horror film is darkness which can make the audience scared as they can't see as much and usually thats when bad things happen like someone gets stabed or eaten.

 

The next thing I would expect from a horror film is creepy charactors, for instance little girls/boys can be scary as you would expect them to be innocent, people wearing masks which makes them scary because you can't see who they are and also freaks of nature who are scary becuase their abnormal.

 

In any horror film you can always expect there to some type of violence to scare the audience for example someone being stabed and someone being eaten by a zombie.

 

The shot types I would expect:

-Establishing shot

-Extreme close-ups

-Point of view Shot 

- High angle shot

-Over the shoulder

-Low angle shot
