Write an evaluation of the imagery you would use in a 30 minute horror film.

If I was to create a 30minute horror film I would use a lot of vulgar imagery to create the full effect of horror and ensure that my audience was scared. The imagery in my horror film would be specifically for Sadists. I would want them to identify with the killer in every possible way, ensuring that there was a lot of explicit imagery throughout the film. I was base my horror film imagery as if I was making my film in the 1960s – 1990s as I am aware that during this time period imagery in horror films were explicit and the horror film watches actually saw the killing along with all the violence and blood. My film would be for a desensitised audience and I would ensure that everything they saw looked believable and realistic. I would ensure that the film was as less predictable as possible as well as wanting my audience to be as scared as much as possible, as I feel this would engage them more as they are watching. I would ensure all my costuming, mise-en-scene and camera work was used to the best of its ability, creating frightening camera shots, such as extreme close ups, high and low angle shots and point of view shots. The mise-en-scene would be bloodcurdling to make sure my audience were unaware of what could happen and where it may happen. Along with this my costuming and make-up would be petrifying. The use or blood and gore would excel in this department to make a disfigured and disgusting image or person to look at during the film. I feel by doing these things I would create an element of fear within my horror film along with keeping my sadist audience engaged throughout the film.
