Steps to Making a Horror Film

In a detailed paragraph, explain how you are using or could use 4 of these 13 steps to help develop your horror film story before you begin shooting.

4. Pick a Location

The location is set in the man's room, where he finds comfort in. Having a home invaded by unknown beings will increase the unease of the situation. 

5. Pick an inciting inincident

The inciting incident, in my case, is when the man hears a doll speak to him. At that point, he will recognize the baby's name, but he will not know where the voice is coming from.

10. Pick the confrontation

The scene where the doll kills the man in the world outside the room can be considered the confrontation. The man is no longer able to avoid the doll due to his size in comparison to the doll.

12. Pick the right music

Though I have not yet found the right music, I want the background to have a ticking noise that increases its frequency slowly. Hopefully, it will increase the heart rate of the audience, physically changing the emotional reaction of the audience.
