Mise en scene

The genre of horror has been shown in this movie using mise en scene. Props and costumes are the main points that created the genre of horror more obvious. Things such as fog, shovels, axes, dead bodies, blood and guns. Props like theses have made it easier for the viewer to see what the genre is. The blood was defiantly one of the main props that helped to make the genre more obvious, this being because blood is not used in many other genre films. The dead body parts was also another factor that helped to the genre. movies of other genres generally don't have dead body parts in them. The directors use of having it set in an isolated woods made the genre much better to the audience to understand that this was obviously not a joyful film. Another factor that helped to the genre, was the use of shadow and dark lighting. this helped to give the scene more suspense. overall the director has made good use of props and costumes for the mise en scene to help show the audience the genre of horror.
