As I had chosen Horror as the genre of my opening of a film, I decided to get a defintion of Horror to make sure that I am creating a film to the correct genre.
To find this information out i went onto:
http://filmsite.amctv.com/horrorfilms.html
This definition was given to me:
'Horror Films are unsettling films designed to frighten and panic, cause dread and alarm, and to invoke our hidden worst fears, often in a terrifying, shocking finale, while captivating and entertaining us at the same time in a cathartic experience. Horror films effectively center on the dark side of life, the forbidden, and strange and alarming events. They deal with our most primal nature and its fears: our nightmares, our vulnerability, our alienation, our revulsions, our terror of the unknown, our fear of death and dismemberment, loss of identity, or fear of sexuality'
By this definition I now feel confident that the opening of my film is in the correct genre - horror.
