Reading response

This article discusses something about ghosts. There is a connection between ghost films and architecture, which is used in many ghost films to set off the atmosphere. Many Chinese horror films are full of traditional Chinese elements, usually they will put old houses, zombies, black and white and other elements, and then match some scary background music, in order to affect the audience’s mood. I once saw a Hong Kong horror movie called the Dead Man in the Village. Through the imitation of The Ring at Midnight and its own innovation, The Dead Man in the Village abandonsthe previous routine of Hong Kong horror films, and appears a horror style with great metaphor and psychological suggestion. Light is also important to the filming of the film. The images in Zodiac are underexposed and extremely scary, and the idea of moderate exposure has been built into every horror film concept. In some cases, though, it doesn’t make the story scarier. But in a horror film, underexposure can be extremely effective because it keeps more shadows in the shot, which creates a more mysterious atmosphere.

    Your reading response has almost no linkage to the key ideas discussed in the reading. Instead, it is your personal opinions towards ghost-themed films in general. Please be more specific and focus more on the reading material.
