HORROR THEORIST
With our genre being zombie we had a wide variety of theorist in which we could use there ideas to influence our work. We researched into the zombie genre of horror to see if we could take on any new ideas to help improve ours. We looked at a few different types of theorist and there connotations of the villain/bad guy and in our case the apocalypse survivors . We were looking for new ideas to make our teaser trailer the best it can be. Some ideas we were looking to use in our opening title sequence would be the theory of the male killer which is part of our movie plot. we looked at 4 different theorist in which we picked one thing from each of what we liked.
-Wheeler Winston Dixon
sites of activity- There to be killed off
- John Kaminsky
Weapons (E.G. Knifes) are a personal extension of our arms and are more Favourable to horror movie killers as the deaths are more personal and intimate than using a gun.
-Wes Craven
Murders are more scary when in a safe place E.G. Home
Young often inherit their parents problems
-Carol Clover
Killers in horror tend to have either issue with their childhood or are sexually disturbed.
Female killers tend to have gender confusion (Mother in friday the 13th).
Sadism- Enjoy inflicting pain onto others.
Masochism- Enjoy having pain inflicted on themselves.
Walls that seem safe and keep the killer out soon become a prison keeping you trapped with the killer.
