A good plot in a horror film
a good plot in a horror film from our research tells us that most 15-24 year olds like a horror film that are more based around sci-fi then films that are more realistic this means that people enjoy such films as paranormal activity which was a big hitting horror that is a film about a ghost rather then films that are maybe all about murders and horrific problems that could result in death. however also in our research people do like to see a death in the plot of a film this will make us think about adding one into our film plot however will not be in the opening scene or title sequence. usually the films with a good plot behind them for example paranormal activity that has a good plot about a ghost haunting a family most nights and sometimes through the day which at the end results to a death in the family, paranormal activity like our film was a low budget film that went on to make a lot of money because the plot and idea in the film was soo good. paranormal was made on a low budget of $15.000 and went on to make $193,355,800
Good actors for horror films.
Many films are usually watch because of the actors in them, most low budget films will not have well known actors and will have actors that not many people know and will therefore have to have a diffrent USP then other horror films that are out at the same time. The actors are important some films such as The Expendibales, which contained lots of well known actors would be watch by people who like them actors, however this would have been a very high end film costing a lot of money just for the actors. however films such as again paranormal activity who used actors no one had hurd of because they was not famous at the time, costed a lot less however made a lot of money through something else. when we did our research we asked who is your favorarte actor and the replies where all well know famous actors such as Brad Pitt and Angelina jollie.
Research on directors.
all films need a good director however some directors are better and more well known then others. people will watch a film just because of the person who directed it for example steven speilberg is a very well known director who is famous for his film making and people will go watch a film and expect it to be good because he has directed it. previous well known films he has done is such films as Saving private ryan and a more recent one of warhorse. A horror film that done well was saw which was directed by Darren Lynn Bousman who is a well known director through his films with saw because he done so well in them however in paranormal activity the director was not well know as it was a low budget film and could maybe not afford a great director, the director of paranomal activity is Oren Peli. we will be directing our film our selves therefore we will not be as good at it as these however the director will not be our USP ours will probually be its genre and it being the best in its category.
research on horror settings.
the setting in a horror film is sometimes the forgotten object because they are concentrating on perfecting everything else in a film however the setting is very important. with the setting their is so much that has to be right for example the lighting the souroundings have to be perfect for the shot. there are many steriotypical places for a horror film some of these are maybe, a church, the woods, or an open feild this is because they are open places they are maybe dark and dull which adds to the atmoshphere in the movie. we want our settings to be dark and dull the make it more tension and so the audinece knows about the genre of the film. A famous setting for the film Phyco is the famous house and the famous shower scene. these were good choices as the house looked scary when they showed it from the outside also the shower was sourounded by a curtain therefore the female could not see what was coming from around her, also it is an unexpected place for a murder to happen adding to the suspence of the death.
