Make a Movie Part 1

Updated: Mar 13, 2020

So this course will allow you to get three approved subjects at level 3 through English, Media studies and Visual art all while making a horror movie. I've picked horror because that is the easiest genre to make on a budget and in a short format.


In this part we are going to start by analysing the genre. If you aren't familiar with horror this site has a break down of all the elements of a horror. If you want to read what people are saying about the genre then you can check out this site.






To start your assessment you need to explore a question around the horror genre. Why are we drawn to horror movies? Why do we have monsters in our movies? Why do we enjoy watching violence? Come up with your own question to explore.


Find out what psychologists and film critics or literary critics think. They need to know what they are talking about so make sure they are good sources.


Then write up an essay that comprehensively answers your question. (91479 English 4 credits)
