My Chosen Genre

Horror Genre

I have chosen to do the horror genre. This is because I have researched up on it and looked at many different films in that genre. This has helped me to gain knowledge on how horror films structure themselves so that they are able to keep the audience happy and satisfied with what they have seen. I think that personally horror is one of the easiest genres that you can produce. This is because horror is easier to create as you have to think of one idea and develop that into something scary and also because of the several horror films we have seen in the past, you can develop ideas from them as well and create it in to something original and new. A genre like comedy is difficult to create as you have to keep the audience constantly laughing and smiling so that they feel that it’s a comedy film. Comedy is really hard to manage as the writers have to make sure that the audience will get what they are saying and have to make sure that they will find it funny. Horror films date back to the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, however horror films were not that popular as they weren’t made as much. However over the decades, the popularity of these films have increased and horror films are one of the largest genres ever watched.

Horror movies go a long way back dating back to the late 1800’s where most of them used to be about vampires, monsters and various other creatures. Bloodsucking and vampire bats have always frightened and terrified the audience; these were commonly used by directors. Horror movies are unsettling movies that attempt to draw out the emotions of fear, terror and disgust from their target audience. They often draw out the audience’s fear by building the suspense which places anxiety in their minds which is a common way used by the director to draw out the horror in a more entertaining way so the audience feels involved and pushed to watch more.
