HORROR
Horror films tend to follow the same, eery and dark approach when filming. The lighting effects are usually very saturated and dark in order to uphold the mysterious and sinister tone of the film.
The soundtracks that are featured in horror films usually have a steady build up involved, gradually getting more intense until it finally reaches a climax in which a character may be caught by the antagonist on screen. The music and sounds displayed in horror films usually mirror what's going on, on screen and can also set the pace of the scene for the actors involved in it.
Props that are featured in horror films vary depending on the specific tone of the film. Some films are more classic on their approach to entertain the audience with more subtle props, like a kitchen knife as a deadly weapon, where as others go for a more brutal and gorey outlook in using intricate props, such as booby traps, as featured in the renowned horror film, "SAW".
The make up that is used by the costume designers in horror films is also variable in style. Some films require a more artificial look, i.e.- the mask from "Scream", or a more natural, bloodthirsty look, i.e.- these up design for the girl in "The Exorcist".
