More Research!!

 Greetings on this fine day or night depending when you're reading this post! So over the past couple days since I made my decision over what the heck I'm going to film, I decided to do a little research on the more paranormal horror genre to help me execute this film. 

Some things I noticed about the paranormal genre is that they mainly rely on both creepy and dark lighting and creepy sounds, whether they're diegetic or non diegetic, well except for Midsommar who managed to make a horror film beautiful. I saw that there are multiple elements and options of lighting that can be used in horror films specifically.

Some elements include:

Uplighting

Underexposure

Silhouette

Sounds mainly used in Horror films use infrasound, which is a very unsettling and hidden sound which is typically used to freak out the audience. Infrasound exists in nature, and is created by wind, earthquakes, avalanches, and used by elephants to communicate over long distances. At a high enough volume, it may be possible for humans to perceive sound as low as 12 Hz, but even common objects emit infrasound, something some horror movie composers use to their advantage. Films also use a lot of suspense music which helps build tension and anxiety, especially when jumpscares come up. They also use foley sounds, which help mimic a certain sound the director wants to emit. A Quiet place uses foley a lot to help give sounds to their creatures.

I also researched some other similar films related to my genre as inspiration. 

Veronica (2017)

Dead Silence (2007)
