Genre traits

Readers,

The genre, horror is made up of several identifiable traits that films have in common.
These are:

• Creepy song/happy music turns bad
• Fast editing
• Dark/at night
• Monsters/fictional terrifying characters
• Plays on fears > monsters under the bed
• Super natural
• Death and gore
• Concealed faces/masks

Every horror film that has ever been made has at lease 2 of these traits in it to create the sense of the unknown and fear factor to the audience.

We will be using some of these factors in our own trailer.
