ICONOGRAPHY OF HORROR

Down below is my research on the horror films I was looking at the iconography of horror. This task was very easy I already knew the iconography of a horror I did a few examples because there where so many to do I chose the ones that I knew about already for example blood, knife and devils. once done I asked my teacher if it was ok to post before doing so. I found it difficult to post as I hadn't really used slide share before and I had no idea how to upload a powerpoint. However, my teacher was very helpful in helping me upload so now I know how to do it next when I upload more research. Futhermore I have learnt that about the different iconographies horror genre uses to scare the aduinece in different. From I shall use some on the iconographies depend on which sub genre of horror I do for example if I made a slasher I would use knifes.

I am in a group of 3 its me Jawaad and Amy down below Jawaad has conducted research on certificate ratings on behalf of are group by doing this we have found out what content is subistable to use in are horror movie. We can only go up to 15 as we are older then 15 but yeah then 18 so me must use the suitable content we are aloud to use. However, is we do decide to chose are certificate rating as 15 we automatically exclude anyone under 15 to target at.We will see the result from are questionnaire and take into consideraration what age group they are. I have learnt from this powerpoint what cretificate ratings we can go up to and what we can use in are horror depend on the certificate rating it goes up.

The timeline below is a timeline of the history of horror. Amy took this task on as she thought she want to be created and do a timeline. Which I thought was a very good idea to do. By doing this research we can look in a variety of ways how horror has changed  and uses this to steal ideas from different horrors to use in are movie. We can see the impact it has since the 1900's to the present day. From this I have learnt the history of horror and how is has changed. By looking at this if we was going to do an older horror we could uses the convention that they use in the early horror from that generantion. 

The next bit of research is down by me I look at the sub genre of horrors. By doing this we can see what conventions are used in different horrors. So when my group bits are genre we can look back at this and see the conventions we need to do. This task was very simple and easy because I already knew a lot about horrors so it was mostly my own knowledge. However the most difficult part was finding a reliable source of information because wikiapedia  was a bias source and my teacher wouldn't like it if I didn't get information from there so I decide to look in books and get information which is more correct. I have learnt from this piece of research that some sub genres follow different conventions. So depending on which sub genre of horror we chose for are horror we will be able to identify the conventions we need to use to follow to produced a horror.
