The article above is about how the audience see a typical convention of horror- Forests. Some say that it relates to, and has originally come from fairytales. However instead of been interpreted as both a magical real and a place of danger it has developed to be a ‘threat in our culture’ (says Peter Hutchings). ‘It represents an older, pre- modern world that we have pushed aside’
Horror films have taken the use of dark forests to indicate ‘dramatic impact’. It gives off an excellent effect in terms of playing in the convention of dark, open places.
This article relates to my production of my teaser trailer, as it is based on the film Snow White but changed into a modern horror interpretation. I tend to be filming some scenes of the trailer with the surroundings of trees- almost forest like. As it states in the article I hope that it will have a dramatic interest on the trailer. As it is based on a fairytale the trailer will contain hidden dangers within the forest scenes and less of an essence of being a magical realm and more of a place of danger.
