I have researched horror films throughout the planning of my production and have concluded that the purpose and significance of horror films can be defined as:
Distressing texts which are designed to frighten and panic the viewer as well as causing dread and alarm whilst calling upon our hidden worst fears.
They often include a terrifying, shocking finale, while captivating and entertaining us at the same time in a emotionally provoking manner.
'Horror films effectively and conventionally center on the darker side of life and human nature, the forbidden, and strange and alarming events (supernatural).
They usually concentrate on exploiting and provoking our most primal nature and its fears: our nightmares, our vulnerability, our alienation, our revulsion's, our terror of the unknown, our fear of death and dismemberment and loss of identity'
This definition consisting of quotes and my own ideas allows me to understand what frame of mind i must ensure i acquire whilst filming my text. I must ensure that i try and include most of these ideas in my production and editing in order for the viewer to be satisfied that they are viewing the opening to a potentially disturbing/scary film of the horror genre.
