For our media project we are focusing on the genre of horror, so first we had to determine what signifies a genre. The definition of genre is the method based on similarities in the narrative elements from which films are constructed.We decided that the main things that determine genre are the micro elements: lighting, editing, music, mise en scene.
following this we looked at what makes a horror film:
lighting-mostly dark, maybe at night time and little lighting
editing-match cuts quick shots build suspense
music-screechy, high, disturbing, not jolly
mise en scene-characters normally young which shows there naiveness and also relates to the audience as they are normally the people who go to watch horror films
