AS Media Coursework 12/13: What genre or sub-genre have you chosen?

What genre or sub-genre have you chosen?

I have chosen the genre horror, alongside the sub-genre slasher.

I made my decision based on the sole reasoning that I adore the horror genre and the narrative styles that lay behind it. Also, a lot of the horror film posters can be quite tongue-in-cheek or intriguing to look at.
