Reseacrhing Genre !

I have been doing some research on our genre, a horror comedy. I looked into some films based on a similar genre to ours, the main one stood out was scary movie. due to parts of it a similar to our 2 minutes of filming, therefore i choose this to compare.Also, feedback from our questionnaires revealed that this was often stated as a favourite horror comedy film, it is recognized worldwide as a hilarious film with twists in it to amuse and surprise the audience.

A few scence are similar, for example, when the weapons are shown, and what is chosen, and also with the twists. Further more, our killer is very comparable to the one in scary movie, as there are very clumsy and show alot of fustration towards certain things. the contrst is also shown as the killer doesnt really say any dialouge to person to anyone, only on the phone.

We linked this to our filming, as our killer uses related emotions and no dialouge. To give the killer that serious look about him, and works well to when his clumsines comes into the scenes.

The horror part is intended to scare and frighten the viewer or sometimes make them look away.
