Horror Genre Research PowerPoint

 My PowerPoint is about the common techniques used in the horror genre. Specifically, it details common lighting, camera angles, and movement used in horror films. It also describes the Mis-En-Scene, elements, and sound that is commonly used in the horror genre. To collect this information,  my group mates and I searched through ton of different films and recorded the techniques they shared. We also used video clips from horror films to do so. We observed that horror typically uses an array of sound effects to get its point across. Although, often it is the opposite and the films have very limited sound to create suspense. The films tend to use darker lighting to create a more mysterious tone. There is usually an actor dressed in an elaborate and scary costume, paired with scary makeup or a mask. Jump scares are also very common in horror films to frighten the audience.
