Genre Research Summary

Our research has had an impact of our work as we will shape it into what our audiences want from a Horror.

For our titles we would have red text on a black background, typical horror titles. The titles will float slowly across the screen and fade in and out of transition to give this eerie idea, this is quite typical of a horror which is what our audience want.

Because are audience want typical horror qualities we woul have deep, slow music playing like a piano. Screaming noises are also typically associated with horror so we will put some non-diegetic screaming noises in.

The characters we see in the opening sequence would be the heroine, portrayed as innocent, through costume, eg a white dress and a close up of her 'innocent' face because the horror genre always has an innocent character.

The lighting would be normal, everyday lighting to give the audience an idea that it is a real life scene, with bright rooms. For example  a street in the opening titles would be like a street in real life.

Ellipsis, we don't know what happened to the character and enigma codes.

The editing would be fast in the chase scenes and fast music would play when a character is scared. Close ups of face and slow zooms to make the audience focus on what is going on.
