Reflective Narrative:
This course introduced me to a different perception to watching films specifically, horror films. I learned that there are different symbols through the film which we truly do not pay attention. We also learned about the importance of the angles in the films and why are they important in the film. Another important aspect we learned was the development of the horror film and how it evolves over time.
