Psychological horror is a subgenre of horror, which can be portrayed within literature andn games etc.Furthermore, it focuses upon the protagonists mind and their fears in order to frighten the viewers and audience.
Homework for Media:
A film based upon mental illness (PTSD – Post Traumatic
Stress Syndrome) to portray how the sufferer will often stay silent. I believe
this will be good to film due to the fact that it captures the audience, and it
can include many different shots to capture different locations, scenes, and
feelings that the protagonist will depict. I thought the film could focus upon
the aspect of looking towards the life of a women from an early childhood life,
to her elderly life. In some places it could include some pieces of short
dialogue in order to show her different emotions therefore, it will be snappy. In
addition, could look towards adding silent images to suggest a sense of
excitement and engage the audience. Throughout the film, they’ll be different
emotions explored in order to show what issues she follows, the problems within
her illness and what makes her happy therefore, could suggest connotations
towards romance and thriller. In the first two minutes of the film, it could be
set out as an interview to explore and state how she got the illness for
example, a car crash, birth or something mysterious you may find out later
during the film. During the middle of the film, she begins to have flashbacks
to her early life therefore, this destroys her life now and makes her worse
than what she actually is. Furthermore, she could begin with suicide thoughts
so, it is emotionally touching and it creates tension towards the audience as
it makes us wonder what she will do further in her life. Then near to the
ending of the film, it could either be a cliff hanger to make the audience want
to know more, and read on or on the other hand, she eventually gets better as
something happens to her through a mystery. So, the audience begins to
emphasise with the characters more and makes them feel pain. Also, it will be
classified as a happy ending. The genre of the film tends to fall towards being
a mixture of psychological thriller then, there may be some connotations of romance portrayed within. The film is targeted mainly towards people interested
in mental and physical emotions, love and fantasy. I shall include many
different camera shots for example, off shoulder shot (medium – long), long
shot from inside the room, close up shots and many more to show a variety of
different skills and effects.
