genre research - horror

 The third genre I am most interest in would have to be horror. Horror films usually have like this weird dim lighting I don't know how to describe it but it is always giving you this weird vibe. They also contain these scary non-diegetic sounds that build up suspense for jump scares. A few common settings in horror films are new homes, the woods or abandoned places. For props there is usually weapons and such that the characters use to defend themselves or the predator uses it to scare their victims. For costume the good characters are usually wearing regular clothing such as a t-shirt and jeans. the bad or scary character usually wears something like a doll outfit if it is a girl. For the makeup, there sometimes could be blood or like the character can have a deformed face.  For sound there is always something falling or moving whenever everything gets quiet to show that something scary is going on. There is a lot of cutaway editing in horror films. For example, The scary character can be walking slowly to the victim seconds before the attack while the victim is hiding in the corner breathing hard. The scenes will go back and forth building suspense before they strike the attack. Also dutch tit is used a lot to give viewers an uneasy feeling. A few examples of horror films are IT, Megan and Scream. What i like about the horror genre is makeup and costumes I think some people really show they creativity with that. My least favorite would be the sound because I get scared very easily.
