How media scares us (horror)


I came across this video on YouTube in my spare time and decided to watch it to help me prepare for my product. The video does not belong to me, but the work below does.
What I learned from this video:

The camera angles and movements are depended on.

Horror is a form of art. How? It can be created including many different equipment and resources to make something unreal. For example, using fake blood and tissue to create a scar on one's hand.

Horror is not: a jump scare.

However relying on jump-scares makes the horror genre “worthwhile”.  – it’s what contributes to what makes it a horror film.

Horror needs to be built up through atmosphere, strong imagery and pacing. – enough to make you remember it for a long time.

Anime shows are more ‘beautiful-looking’ and can’t be scary enough.

How will I apply this to my short horror film?

I won’t be using Anime as a source for my horror film. I need to decide on how long we need to spend filming each scene and the perfect camera angles and composition in order to scare the audience right away.
