To begin with, we brainstormed ideas and placed them into catagories. As we wanted our film to be the genre of horror, we thought of existing films and based our ideas on what a horror would include from there. These films included paranormal activity, the grudge, the purge and a few others. We listed as many ideas as we could as all these aspects are important within a movie as it presents the genre to the audience. We discovered that the mise en scene was a huge part of creating/preparing to create a film as all the items we listed create the scary atmospheres within a horror.
