Title Sequence Pitch



From further research, I have gathered that although, more and more females have begun to watch horror films the majority of the horror genres audience is male and so it makes more sense to cast a male victim because the audience are going to be able to emphasize with the character more. Also it would be too unoriginal to cast a female as the victim, since this is present in so many other horror films and is causing the films to become predictable and lacklustre. It would also be very conservative of us to cast another female as the victim in our film in the changing world that we live in. When the horror genre was created, it was at a time of legal slavery, unequal rights between men and women and the view that women were weak and couldn't look after them selves but over time these views have changed and restrictive laws have gone away, all other aspects of the horror genre have evolved apart from this one, and so this is why we are challenging the conventions of the horror genre.

  1. Identify the conventions of horror that you are conforming to and those you are challenging. Eg, victim is male, when your research indicates a female victim. Can you explain your choices here?
