Introduction

This is my A2 blog which will be where I present my work for the course. Each post that i upload will include all decisions made for the course. I am looking forward to the course as I will learn a lot about different filming techniques as well as editing. 

Horror is a genre that I am not too keen on! When I was child, I watched a film called ''Monster House 2006'' considered apart of the animation, comedy and family genre. The story line of the movie featured three teens that lived in a neighbourhood which featured a house that used to come alive. Within this house, lives an elderly man and his wife is the house who come to life. She intrigues the characters by luring them using inanimate object such as kits, balls etc. The film traumatized me and has been one of the reasons why I do not watch horror. Horror as a genre is one that is meant to thrill and cause fear. I also have a fear of horror films, that have a realistic story line such as ‘The Conjuring. It features paranormal activities within a new family home. The fact that the family have moved into a house believing that it would be a fresh start for them is something that scares me the most. I hate the fear of the unknown and i don't enjoy being unable to sleep at night after having watched a film.

However through doing this course, it will enable me to gain awareness of the genre itself and also find out why horror is a genre that so many of us love and adore. The course will also help entail the conventions that make a good horror movie as well as the theory behind horror and how it has impacted our generations and the times before us. I am looking forward to analysing horror movies from the present and the past even though I am completely petrified. I hope you enjoy my blog and I will keep it updated.
