LLM : Moodboard - Slasher horror

 Key Iconography of Slasher horror:
- Violent psychopath killing several victims
- Use fierce and forceful equipment to kill
- Damsel in distress
- Chase scenes
- Built up of a lot of mystery and suspense
- Sometimes overlaps with crime
- high volume of deaths

Mise-en-Scene: Character blocking - all characters with the intention to kill or commit are crime are given prevalence in each picture. They are clearly shown to be the antagonist placed either behind a character or by standing tall, along with being intimidating. For example, the picture of the Scream standing behind the women with a knife in his hand shows he is in control and will determine what happens next.

Mise-en-Scene: Props - props are very important in slasher horror movies because the main antagonists usually have a favoured weapon in which they carry out there killings with. It tends to be a knife but in some films it differs, for example in Texas Chainsaw Massacre, quite clearly the main weapon is a Chainsaw.

Camerawork: Low angle shot - the low angle shot in horror movies is very important because it shows an antagonist dominantly standing over other characters with a furious intention to kill and harm horrifically.

Mise-en-scene: Make-up - Blood in slasher horrors is used greatly because it provides verisimilitude for the audience. Blood on a character shows they are suffering or could be in a near death situation. In many films blood is smeared all over the floor to build up tension that an unfortunate event has occurred.

Mise-en-Scene: Lighting - Many pictures are very dark, giving a scary feel to the scene. Further, some pictures use lighting to put there characters in shadows so they are able to build tension and hide the faces, so that when they come out of the shadow there is a greater impact of what the character looks like.
