- Horror movies would be a lot of fun to make. Doing all the special effects and props would be very interesting and I would enjoy that a lot.
- The actors in it wouldn't have to be really good at acting, as horror movies focus very much on the special effects.
- Story lines for horrors aren't hard to think of, they don't have to be complicated or dynamic in such ways that social realism's have to be. Horror movies all tend to have a basic outline of what's going to happen - people are trying to protect themselves, but then most of them die and usually one or two get out alive - this would be very helpful and simple to follow. I would also be able to exaggerate more, it doesn't have to seem very realistic as the audience will believe its happening even though they do know in the back of their minds that the possibilities of whats going on in the films are really unlikely.
- If you have a good open to a horror movie, you will engage your audience straight away. In a lot of cases with horror movies it takes a while to get into and get to the 'good bits'.
for example, silent hill (not a British horror) but it takes a while to understand what's going on and takes a while to get into before you actually are interested.
NEGATIVES...
- If you get the first 2 minutes of the film wrong or boring, you will have lost a lot of your audience as they won't be interested in watching the rest of the film. It's hard to get a good balance between giving too much away and not giving out enough details in the opening sequences.
- It will be tricky and fairly expensive to make and edit. The special effects will cost a lot more than they would for a social realism film, and it will take a lot of time when editing to edit the scenes to how you want them.
- Horror films genuinely focus on the special effects area of the film, so this is much more reliant on me to create a good atmosphere with effects and props, and make the effects just right without going over the top and putting people off.
