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.

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.
