Portfolio Project Genre #2

 Horror

The audience that usually gets involved with this genre is usually old teengers and young adults with an age range of 16-27. 

The type of content within this genre includes gore, supernatural, psychological fear, jumpscares, and anything else that develops a feeling of fear. This is often shown with brutal killings, attacks, chases, unstoppable forces, and discomforting settings where the protagonist(s) are kept in fear and in danger throughout the production. All this is done through shaky camera shots, high contrast lighting, unsettling camera work, sharp/sudden noises, and scary sounds/music.

These type of productions use eerie music in their pivotal scenes and their mise-en-scene is usually dark while their characters usually display discomforting looks to show their fear. That being said, in trailers that are made within this genre, usually contain eerie music with scary narrating along with fast paced cuts that show darkness and danger.

Two films/TV productions that represent this genre include 'IT' and 'The Silence of the Lambs'.
