AO1 Structure of a horror film
The narratives of horror films all follow a smiler storyline they either follow a supernatural storyline like with Dracula, Frankenstein and Zombie films these films are declared the most popular because the monsters are given supernatural abilities and births like in Dracula as a vampire he is a creature of the night and has incredible strength and enhanced reflexes with also needing to consume blood from his victims, with Frankenstein he is created by sending an electric current through several dead body parts which a sewn together and zombies are caused from religious and scientifically reasoning i prefer modern day zombies where they are blind cannot feel anything but have enhanced hearing making them more thrilling in my opinion, the horror genre has different tales for different monster they can be liner and non-liner with Dracula the films will be separated it might show the younger Dracula then jump to a present day or a far future then keep switching between showing a non-liner way of telling the story, most horror films are left open some to give the audience a chance to think of an ending or to be continued at a later date by the same film company or a different one but most Zombie films are episodic like 28 days later and 28 weeks later these seem to be like episodes to tell the story. the camerawork that is involved with the structure builds the suspense and adds to the climactic moment in the films, with Dracula it is the moment when he first drinks the blood of a victim, Frankenstein it is the quick shots as the monster is awakening from the lighting bolt, Zombies are given this by showing a group huddling around one person as the camera quickly cuts to every angle while the audio makes to imagine the ripping of human flesh as the zombies eat but the camerawork not showing any of this which gives the audience the chance to image what is happening behind the zombie horde.
