I had to create a horror or thriller sequence for teenagers who are interested in the genres already. As the sequence was made for teenagers who are already interested we had to change the type of horror as they would all be used to the common jump scares. So instead I stayed away from jump scares and went more towards the low key fighting and eery aspect of the sequence. Our sequence focuses more on the build up and creating the suspense before the big jump scare.
I made our sequence mainly black and white because we thought this increased the tension and revealed less. Most of our sequence was done in low key lighting, this is common in horrors and to me is the most effective part of a horror as it wouldn't be very scary if it was bright and you could see everything. We used low key lighting to create shadows and the effect that anything could be lurking in the shadows as someone walks around. We also added in sound effects like water dropping and long sounds, this added more effect as it make you question what it is and increases the suspense of the sequence.
The close up of the tap with the water dropping noise was done to set the scene of walking around an abandoned scary building where anything could be lurking in the shadows. It also emphasised that the place was abandoned and anything could surprise you at any moment. I also made the intro slow motion, this extended the scene and made you wonder what was coming next for longer, this would increase suspense as its extending how long it i until the next scene.
I used point of view shots while entering rooms during my film, this was so its personal and its like you are the person walking around
