My project partner and I sat down and talked about main horror sub categories, we came up with three and narrowed it down to one, of which suited us best. Paranormal: The biggest strength about this sub category would be that it is the most popular globally, examples of paranormal film include: The paranormal activity series, The conjuring/Annabelle series.

The only disadvantage we found with this subcategory is that the editing phase would be very difficult, however we feel that we can succeed with it. Monster/Alien: Monster/Alien films are more so focused on fantasy or another genre as opposed to horror, therefore falling in success when shown in horror films as they are not very popular especially at the current ...

Narrative- No Correct Way. Narrative creates layers of present and future. Narrative is fluid. Interpretive dialogue with the audience. Narrative is built out of events. The voice of narrative can vary. Narrative is a tale, a story of facts Is what I am seeing linear? What meaning is made out of diegesis? What microelements best illustrate the narrative approach? How do my codes add up to a narrative style or approach? How does the narrative serve conflict?
