THIS IS OUR HORROR RESEARCH OVER THE SUMMER.
This section is the work that our team completed over the summer holiday, we had to it separately and we had to do it to the best of our ability as this determined who would be in what groups. Our research included research into the horror genre by exploring different horror magazine, horror poster and horror trailer. This enabled us to get a better understanding of horror and the common horror conventions.
WHITNEY-ANNE IDEH.
Whitney-Anne made a Tumblr and a website. The Tumblr page consists of various disturbing and horrific images and gifs, this is to show how horrific elements don't have to be in a movie to look disturbing, an image can make you feel more horrified than a movie. Also the use of gifs are effective because they are like mini videos that run over and over again making it creepier the more you watch it.
The website Whitney-Anne made contains a Power Point of Horror History and where it all began, how it all developed and grew and what types of horror movies where in trend at certain years. It also consists of why we get scared? Why do we pay to go to the movie to get scared. The website also contains some horror trailers and make-up D.I.Y to show the type of things to expect in a horror movie. Lastly the website contains interesting facts of the different sub-genre's in the Horror genre.

JACOB FRITZE
Jacob managed to make a horror movie trailer over summer in Germany with couple of friends. The name of the potential movie is called Blood Honor. This trailer reflects his capability and work ethic. From the trailer we can grasp a few hints of what the movie would be about, for example the title 'blood honor' is most likely to be a about a cult or blood siblings or a sacrifice, therefore it allows you to really think about what the trailer is about.
FADEKE FALUYI
Fadeke plotted out her concept of a horror movie and also made a website. The concept consists of a poster of how the actual poster of the movie would probably look like. It also contains the synopsis of the movie she's anticipating on making as well as different sound techniques that could work on different parts of the trailer and also the different camera techniques for the trailer. It also includes what horror is about and the different horror movies and why they work. The website made contains more research of certain aspects of horror movies such as the sound techniques, camera work, costumes and trailers of actual horror movies.
