Today we once again carried on with interior shots as we wanted to get them done and out of the way as they were only a small part of the opening and could then concentrate on the harder parts to film. These were still inside Sam's house.

After looking over the shots at the end of the filming session none of us were happy with how they turned out as they were extreamly grainy and there was also a dead pixel in the video's. We wanted to fix this but had no scedualled time to do so anytime soon so we plan to reshoot these again at a later time as well as get a better camera so that the dead pixel wasn't present.

Today we met up and did interior shots inside Sam's house. We set up our pentagram and candels and the camera was set up on a table so that it was looking down on all four members of the group. This was a high angled shot.

Research into genre

Horror

Horror is a film genre conveying negative thoughts and views. The theme plays on the audiences insecurities and fears to create the emotional response they want. Horror films  have been around for more than a century. Macabre and Supernatural are the most popular themes for the films genre. These may overlap with other themes like fantasy, supernatural fiction and thriller. They thrive on the audiences nightmares, fears and being afraid of the unknown. The plots of horror films involve either an event or evil force. Horror is a extremely popular genre and is loved by people of all ages as it can come in many different forms even for children. The film 'Caroline' is a popular children's film they some would consider creepy or even scary due to its dark story.

Audience feedback

I created a questionnaire to ask people about how they viewed, what they viewed and what they enjoyed.

These are my results:
