8. Discussion
• Looking into the narratives of the 3 films which have
been broadcasted on Horror Channel I have come to the
conclusion that the following themes are present:
• Link with religion
• Link with Paranormal activity is also present within one
of the films.
• As these two themes have been presented in 3 of the
top 10 films which have been broadcasted it can show
that the audience enjoy films with those specific themes.
9. HELPED?
• This post has actually helped me because it
helped me start thinking about my own film and
its narrative and what I should include within it,
perhaps religion and paranormal activity should
be something that should be present in my film.
