Horror
I have always been fond of old
horror films. They were filled with such ambition and desire, the desire to
make the audience feel a certain way. Now fast-forward to the horror films that
can be seen in cinemas today. They usually follow the same old theme of a supernatural
being (ghost, jinn, phantom) that has haunted a person or place. This story,
although perfectly capable of scaring me, it lacks the structure which I adored in
the older horrors. Whatever happened to the days of good old scary vampires and
clowns. Before special effects, horror films relied on costume and music but
now these film use flash post production to keep audiences on the edges of their
seats.
I am looking forward to this
project as I want to begin to enjoy and analyse both new and old horror films
in a way I may have not been able to before. I am also looking forward to
researching the theories of horror and how to apply them. Above all I want to
be able to watch a modern horror film and be able to appreciate its concepts
and execution.
