Reasearch- Slasher Horror


 Slasher horror


I’m very excited to state that slasher horror is what my film will be based on. After researching different genres, I have eliminated to know I feel will be the best and fun theme to film.

As you have seen I did do research on this genre, but I fear I might need more in depth. See what I did there. Fear, anyways let’s learn more of what I would need to execute this genre.


Setting- where is slasher horror filmed?

Usually filmed in isolated, everyday places to make the danger feel more real.
Mists common places are:
Camps and forest (summer camps, woods, lakes)
Quite streets
High schools, campuses
Motels, hospitals, warehouses
Small towns

WHY?

No help, easy to stalk victims, traps a lot of characters in one place, isolation and limited escape.

Common Character:

There is the killer and the victims of course. The killer is often males, silent, or mysterious (Michel Myers) There is at times what they call the final girl. The last survivor who fights back and escapes (Tara & Sam Carpeter)

Michel Myers (Halloween).         Tara and Sam Carpeter (SCREAM)


Slasher Horror is a type of horror genre that focuses on a killer who stalks and murders people one by one, with a close range weapon like knifes or other sharp objects. They show fear of danger in everyday life, loss of safety, and consequences of bad choices. Film that represents does situation are Fear Street and Sick.
