Horror genre

Horror

The horror film genre was established in the 1800's with the earliest film being 'The devils castle'. The short film is only about 2 minutes long and plays on jumo cut scenes of a man in a castle depiction who is walking around and seems to be using magic as he creates and makes things appear including a cauldron and a person. 

The new generation of horror's are mostly technologically altered with CGI and special effects whereas when there was less of a technological presence props were more heavily relied upon and so were physical effects instead of virtual. Colour is also a main part in many many horror's as certain colours depict situations and can foreshadow events which can be key and vital. All the first horror creations were in black and white as colour in film wasn't invented.
