Whilst thinking of ideas for short films I created a Bubbl mindmap of three ideas I'm considering all connected to horror which is the genre of short film I have decided to make.
I've chosen to make a horror film as I've already studied it in my Genre Theory post and I would like to experiment with the conventions of the genre to try and create a tense and engaging short film. Horror films also tend to have quite simple plots which I feel is important to have in a short film as there is not enough time for complicated plot twists.
However one of my ideas combines horror and comedy which is an increasingly popular genre hybrid with films like Sean of the Dead, Attack the Block, Hot Fuzz and Scary Movie combining the genres to great success. That idea would enable me not only to use the conventions of horror films which I have outlined in my Genre Theory post but also to subvert them. As I have learnt from Genre Theory audiences can become saturated by certain genres if they do not evolve and by combining genres I may be able to create a more engaging film.
