Subgenre Research
In this blog, I will be talking about my research on subgenres in horror. There are many subgenres, but my group and I chose our favorite 4 and decided to research on them. The ones we chose are Vampire, Psychological, Slasher, and Paranormal. We split the research up by every group member researches one. I chose to research on Vampire.
Subgenre: Vampire
Researching about the vampire subgenre, I found that vampires are great for horror films because of their need for human blood. Mise-en-scene for vampires is also easy, due to the character looking human-like with a little demonic changes to it. This is great for us due to our budget being $0.
I found that Dracula started the use of vampires in the horror genre. This movie gives me a great influence of what I want to do because of how successful it became. Directed by George Melford, it is about a vampire that moved to London from Transylvania and searches for humans to drink at night. This influenced most vampire films up to today, which makes me want to do something like that.
