Setting in Horror Openings

The Purge

This film is set on the streets of a friendly neighborhood in America. By having this thriller set around and in houses makes the film more personal to the audience as this could happen to anyone. The idea that the action in mostly set at night time makes the feeling more ominous and eery. When thinking about our horror-thriller opening we think having our setting at night will make a more tense atmosphere for the audience. The costumes in this clip seem to be just everyday clothes, by having every day clothes makes things more realistic.



The conjuring

This film is set within a family home this again makes it more personal to the audience and helps bring more emotion by involving children as children are seen a very innocent and bad things shouldn't happen to them. With the action happening inside it brings the horror into their own house so it allows the




Paranormal Activity

This film is set through cam-corders the whole time, by doing this it looks like your in the lives of the characters, as its there everyday lives being filmed by each other. Most of the film is set within in a home with paranormal activity surrounding them all the time this brings tension to the audience and fear as children are the victims within this film.




Evaluation:
From looking at my group members work I can see the typical settins and scenery of a horror movie title sequence as well as what the surrounding lighting, mise en scene and actual location would be. Therefore it gives us as a group an insight into what our lication should be or what it should look like. As well as what kind of horror side of it we want. As we are doing a thiller horror and not just a horror, meaning it can't be to horrofic and lose the thriller aspect and should have a cross between our research in thriller and this.
