Researching Genre

Doing a short, horror/crime film I'll research similiar short films that either have similiar themes or fit into my genre. 

Many short horror films focus on jump scares and quick action. However, my plan is quite slow
paced and I can't find any physcological horrors within my time constraits (below 5minutes). Therefore it may be a good idea to change the plan of my short flim, as I also feel jumpscares and high tension isn't as effective in short films as it is very difficult to pull off.



I have a few vague ideas of alternative ideas and will talk about them in future posts.

This research has been vital to me as it has revealed how my idea doesn't follow conventions of me desired genre, and so before my next idea, I will research the genre fully to identify conventions and possible common themes.
