- To get a thrill
- to have a physical response - heart rate, adrenaline rush, clammy hands
- Extreme feeling, similar to riding a roller coaster
- Maybe deep down everyone is a bit of a masochist?
- To vent anger and frustration
- Test yourself
*WE KNOW IT IS NOT REAL*
Aristotle believed in CATHARTHIS - we watch violence/nagtive iamges to purge surpessed emotions
Zolf Zillman Excitation theory
By experiencing negative and scary imagery we intensify the positive
We enjoy seeing the negative image being vanquished.
Glen D Walters
what makes a film scary?
- Tension and Suspense - Created using narration and filming techniques
- Relevance - the fears explored are relevant to the audienvc. They 'believe'
- Unrealistic - we are not actually n the movie, so we can explore this feeling of fear safely.
