As a group we have decided to base our coursework on a psychological horror. We will make a trailer, poster and front cover in relationship to the psychological horror genre.
Psychological horrors rely on characters fears, guilt, beliefs, eerie sound effects, relevant music and emotional instability to build tension and further the plot. Psychological horror tends to be subtle compared to traditional horror and typically contains less physical harm, as it works mainly on the factors of mentally affecting the audience rather than the display of graphic imagery. In a psychological horror the essential element is to frighten the audience mentally, whereas this is not the case in thrillers.
Examples of psychological horror film are as following:
1408
The Blair Witch Project
The Sixth Sense
The Unborn
The Others
Gothika
The Shinning
Paranormal Activity.
