When i submitted my request to get into the Post Horror studio,  i knew from the first time i saw the description that i had to be in this class. Not only was this class going to be full of horror enthusiasts, i myself was behind the attitude of this, on the first class i was surprised to realise how many horror movies there are and which many seriously good ones i have not persuaded myself to watch or even known about them. Whilst reading the description on the media factory website, my eyes were firstly drawn in and symbolise my reaction to the class, this was in fact Daniel Kaluuya’s character in Jordan Peel’s contemporary horror film ‘Get Out’.

Whilst reading the complete description of the class i wondered what it meant by post horror, is it ending? Is it somewhat a celebration of horror? Is it what is wrong with horror? Or is it something different entirely. The reason i took this class was that i wanted to explore the genre of horror. Furthermore, i never took time to consider horror as a primary focus in viewing films but through this engaging and changing genre provided with directors such as Jordan Peel, Ari aster and Robert Egger’s, my opinions changed quite quickly. I would say that my goals for this class would include a wide opportunity to attribute and provide groundwork for my future in filmmaking and the future in this field. These goals include, finding a better understanding and history behind how horror has evolved overtime from classical horror to international horror including giallo films, experimental horror and now contemporary horror which is regarded as post horror, another goal i would like to fulfil is to with the help of creating a short film, get my hands and experience on cameras and film equipment to brighten my range of experience in this field.  Overall, im glad i chose this studio over the others as its obviously the most interesting and i think the most important as i believe that horror is the most exciting genre in all of film and to find out how the genre works gives the student a good centrepiece into how to work through this gigantic genre on a contemporary storytelling point of view.
