Abstract Details

2021, Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA), Ohio University, Film.
The paper will explore the means by which horror films are broken down into specific subcategories (such as The Gothic, Witchcraft and Folklore, and The Chiller) by probing differences in narrative intention and structure rather than what mean of horror are portrayed in the film or what the setting is. These aspects are important, but as cinema is predominantly fundamentally a narrative form, I seek to classify genre with the storytelling basis as more significant than imagery and setting.
