History Of Horror

 



This video is interesting and has given me an insight on different genres of horror and how genres have come about through time.

Target Audience

 

 

Our target audience are older teenagers from 15+, we have decided to use this age because we think that teenagers and Young adults are the main audience for horror films as they are exciting and thrilling. Things that a teenager are interested in. We have looked at other films like ours and they have similar target audiences, for example, 'IT' is a movie very similar to ours and they have a similar age rating of 18. However this isn't the same, we think that due to the age of the movie, the age rating may be too high and if that movie were to come out today then it would be a 15+ not an 18+.

 

 

 

Another movie similar to ours in term of theme is 'Clownhouse' in which men dressed as clown torment people in their neighbourhood. This is very similar to our movie and also has the same age rating. This would be because of the terror involved in this movie as there are scary parts that may be too disturbing for the younger generation and maybe something the older generation aren't particularly used to.

 

We hope to make our movie particular to the young adult age and this is mainly because we want it to be so scary that maybe some of the older or younger ages can't handle it.

 

Our Movie

 

 

Our movie doesn't particularly have too much of a specific target audience other than the teenage to young adults age category. Which are part of the E Audience Category. However, we would imagine that our movie would be watched by males more than females because of the gore aspects and sheer horror themes.

 

Students are the most likely people to watch this type of movie as the horror genre is somewhat linked to a boy and a girl romance. I kind of like the idea of a couple sitting down watching the film and both getting scared, i think this is what would make our film memorable. So if a couple are having a rough day or night, maybe an argument has occurred then i want this film to scare the both of them to extreme where they need to cuddle up together for their own safety.

 

 

 

 

Font Analysis

This is the font we have decided to use for the titles in our opening sequence. We find that this is relevant to our genre and theme. The colour and shape of the font is specific to our movie. It reminds me of a circus which is a common place for clowns, this association is simple however effective as the audience would immediately know the theme of the film. The colour of the font is red for many reasons, mainly to signify danger and blood and gore. These are the main themes of our film as we are trying to mentally scar our audience as we find that our audience are aroused by gore and a disturbing aroma.

The Conjuring (2013) — Art of the Title

This title sequence font is used to fit in with the narrative itself as the narrative is mainly pictures of newspapers so if the font was too odd or abnormal then it wouldn't fit in with the background. By this, I mean that the font is similar to what you would find in a a newspaper. This font isn't necessarily scary however it suits the genre and the theme of the movie. The audience that would be watching the movie won't be necessarily scared due to the font however it does build suspence and tension into the movie. The titles are also used as a kind of masking tool to detach some of the figures' appearences, this is somewhat spooky as we find people without identity scary.
