2. What tip do you feel you could put to use in your horror film coming up?
When coming up with a horror story, it's okay to take inspiration from old works, especially literature. A lot of horror films are just adaptations of existing classics, and you can make something great by adding your own twist to it. Consider the Location, time of day and weather your film takes place in. The atmosphere greatly affects the feel of the movie. Sound design also contributes a lot to the feel, and can increase the production value of your film. Lighting can be used very effectively to convey certain feelings. Having your image underexposed can leave your subject in a shadow, building suspense and mystery. Color grading and using gels can also help a lot with building the atmosphere. Utilize angles to create tension and uneasiness. Higher angles make your subject look meak, dutch angles create a feeling of uneasiness. lastly, utilize props you have available to you to help drive the story.
