The first few lesson we discussed the conventions of horror and thriller and then went on to question the difference between the two.
The concept of horror- There are two types of horror, horror and ultimate horror. Ultimate horror is more psychological and therefore is more disturbing as it is unimanigable and it is the unimaginable that scares us the most. Horror on the other hand is more graphic and gory, it has more to do with what the audience sees. It often overlaps with thriller as it is constantly building suspense to gain a big reaction from the audience.
The concept of thriller- The key ingredient for a thriller is suspense which is effectively built up through the use of sound and editing. Its aim is to keep the audience on the edge of their seat leading them to know that something bad is going to happen.
