Shock! A New Horror

Coalescence follows the journey of an aspiring young artist, Lana, as she is confronted by her darkest desires for fame and success when her house-sitting favor turns sour. Throughout the making of this short horror film, I hope the piece could captivate audiences by exploring the universal theme of self-discovery through the lens of psychological […]

I hope that On with the Prancing is able to engage its audiences through its uniqueness in plot and character. True to the diversified nature of post-horror, it blended absurdity, normality and suspense in such a short piece. I believe that the final product was able to be effectively unique, and was successfully able to […]

  Reflection In our final work, Trance, we hope to shed light on mental health, encouraging viewers to empathise with the confusion and isolation that can come when having mental illness. Observing the audience at the exhibition, I briefly saw how the audience was trying to engage with the film, visibly concentrating, and trying to […]

  Reflection We finally finished Raptured last week, we spent 6 weeks making it, and had a difficult time making it from filming to post-production editing, and while I think there is still some room for improvement in some parts of the film we are all very happy with it overall, as evidenced by the […]

I hope that my final work engages with my audience through the thematic and visual elements of our film.

This was achieved by allowing the audience to […]

Shock! A New Horror Putt-Putt Quanpadung – Aberrant Reflection I hope that my group’s final work, Aberrant, engages and communicates with the audience in a way that they have a better understanding of what post-horror is and that horror does not need to be gory, have a jump scare or other aspects of traditional horror […]

  I am proud to say that we had a relatively smooth pre production and production experience, thanks to proper planning, effective communication, and a clear understanding of our goals as a group. One of the primary things I wanted to achieve with our final work was to create a film that not only engages […]

In its showing at the studio exhibition, I hope that our short film Coalescence communicates the characteristic ‘lingering dread and visual restraint’ (Church, 2021, p.1) of post-horror. To a large extent, the script relies on the carefully veiled jealousy and infatuation within the protagonist (Lana). Using camera techniques – such as extreme close-ups and long […]

Aberrant – Taylor Zenelovski (Shock! A New Horror) Aberrant, the film can be accessed here. Reflection I viewed the key concern of this studio of how the genre of horror is understood, rather than ‘post-horror’ being a contemporary genre, which is often associated with elitist and prentntious connotation. Our group film, Aberrant embodies the nature of […]
