In addition to offering visceral scares, horror movies can provide insight into the psychology of fear, and the underlying dread that threatens our collective sense of security. In this class we’ll examine how such crucial elements as story, camerawork, editing, and sound can establish and enhance the atmosphere, suspense, and moments of sheer terror that characterize an effective horror movie. Students will then produce a short horror film of their own that they can submit to potentially be featured in CCTV’s HorrorFest 2016. This class requires students to take out a production contract and turn in a short video for cablecast at the end of the class.
