Key Horror Conventions

We googled "horror films" into google and picked a website, we copied text from the site and pasted it into Wordle to create the above image. It shows the key themes associated with horror films.

Key themes:

  • Satanic 
  • Possession 
  • Mystery 
  • Realistic
The Wordle shows us that sub-genres of horror are often satanic or possession, we have used this trend by making our horror film a possession sub-genre. The theme of mystery is important as people often have a fear of the unknown as we come across it in our day to day lives, we have also used this idea within our plot. Realistic is also key because you want your film to look scary but it has to be believable to create an authentic, frightening film.You want the audience to still be scared long after they've seen the film.
