Horror slasher

Audience As the image shows below the audience to fit

a horror slasher is teenagers and has been since horror slasher began therefor I think in our production we need to keep this attraction to it and a way of doing this is by having a party scene at the beginning of the opening sequence.

Violence and Gore

In the text below it suggests how the violence and gore in a horror slasher are only there to please the audience is specific scenes and not all the time, it suggests that graphic violence presented within slasher films break the taboos placed in cinema and society and when they break the taboo it is appealing and thrilling to the audience

Narrative Structure The narrative structure to a horror slasher

is combined with Todorov’s theory on equilibrium and we see this in horror slasher with a group of teenagers going around together and they are then disrupted by a Pyscho and the disequilibrium happens where some friends get killed and then eventually good always defeats evil and the new equilibrium is the killer dyeing and the last teenager survives.

We can see this in the image on the next slide
