We didn't use many special effects in our film as we wanted the audience to focus on the tension within the scenes. Special effects aren't very common in horror films apart from things like fake blood and injuries as it isn't needed to increase tension.
We used special effects to make Harriet look injured, which ultimately kills her. We had a friend do this as she had experience in doing horror makeup on people. It was very realistic, which made it really stand out and makes the audience focus specifically on Harriet's character and how it happened. It was effective in showing how she was killed but it also wasn't too over-the-top as this would've pushed the rating of the film over what we wanted and over our target audience.
We used special effects makeup as the primary effect in our film as horror films usually rely on small budgets to appeal to their target audiences. Makeup and costumes tend to be the reason why horror films are successful in appealing to their audiences and the genre. We would use a relatively small budget for our film, and we think that continuing to use makeup like this would be realistic and effective in expressing the genre and events within the film.
