Mind Map
We looked further into current examples of Modern such as A Quiet Place and the short films produced by Evan Muir online. We looked at the codes and conventions used, we wanted to move away from the horror "tropes" that had oversaturated the market. Exessive violence and gore, as well as jump scares, were all features of modern horror that we wanted to avoid in order to make our project stand out.
Interesting that you are aiming at subtlety and sophistication, avoiding the more obvious and over-used horror tropes. I agree that excessive violence is often lazily over-used in horror.
