is normally wearing light/pale colors to indicate that they are pure, innocent
and vulnerable. The killer wears dark colors such as red to show they are
dangerous and to show a sign of terror towards their victim.
The sounds
in a horror film are an important factor. Silence helps to create suspense and builds up tension and makes the audience be on the tip of their chair as they are unaware
of whether the silence will end with a loud noise or something quick and sudden taking places on the screen.Screaming, rustling winds,
whispers and fast heart beats are sounds we may also notice from a horror film.

authorities. It can also show characters fears and nightmares as well as being used to connote fear and power. Point of View

audience to see the world from the characters evil perspective it almost makes the audience feel as if they are the ones committing the crime.Wide shots are
useful during horror films as they enable the audience to get a good view of
the setting and background of the area.
