Sub Genre Parody

The purpose of our sub genre parody task sequence is to learn about and explore psychological horror through filming. 

In psychological horror most of these camera shots are used eg birds eye shot, extreme close up, match on match action,180 degree rule and a series of different editing formats. The effect of this is to show the characters views and feelings through different camera angles.

Some other conventions we used to show psychological are...

• someone sat in a hospital/hospital bed- this shows that there is a sick person 
• someone playing mind games with the sick person-this is used to show that the person is being played mind games 
• the narrative speech through the sequence- this is used in this sub genre to give a feel of what the film is about 
• not showing a full shot of the evil persons face - this helps to create mystery 

During the process of creating this parody I have learned how to make a short sequence humorous and how to re-create a short scene. I have also learned more about psychological horror so when I go on to do my main task, I will be more confident in creating and putting the main ideas across through the conventions of sub genre.
