Genre

The presentations from class made me want to make a horror short. I think this genre is fun to do and you can get very creative with it. I think that out of the options horror would be the best short to make. I most prefer this genre because it is something that interests me in the sense of how it is made and the techniques that are used to make it. I have written scripts just for fun before that are 70 percent of the time horror because I enjoy making suspenseful situations. Good horror movies make me feel scared which the best way to make someone scared is suspense.

Horror films make me feel nervous like my stomach has turned inside out if I watch a good one and if I'm making it then it makes me feel excited to make it as nerve racking for the audience as possible. I think this says that I enjoy to be unpredictable and like suspenseful situations in movies. The directors I would most like to emulate are James Wan who directed the Saw movies, Alfred Hitchcock who directed Psycho and The Birds, and Jonathan Demme who directed The Silence of the Lambs. I think that the Saw movie's gore and the suspense within The Birds mixed in with the lunatic villain in Psycho and Silence of the Lambs would create a masterpiece.
