What is effective in horror films

  • Edgy music.
  • Use of claustrophobia, invoking panic.
  • Silence
  • Hand-held camera work.
  • High quality camera for viewing.
  • Jump cuts.
  • Singular beats, which can represent a heartbeat.
  • Darkness
  • Extreme close ups
  • Costumes, for example masks.
  • Dark and dingy colour design
  • Rural settings
