How to Master Horror with AI (Full Breakdown)
Whether you’re making a horror film or any story that needs suspense, these ideas will help you control what your audience sees, what they know, and when that changes.
About this tutorial
Want to make your horror scenes genuinely tense? In this tutorial, award-winning filmmaker Marius Jensen (https://flick.art/u/marius-jensen) breaks down how he built suspense in his short film, Hollow, through shot design: where to place the camera, how to move it, and what to show or hide.
You’ll learn how to establish unease with a clear spatial map and “lurking space” in the frame, build anticipation with low tracking shots, parallel editing, misdirection, and reaction shots, and keep every character’s position consistent across angles by blocking the scene in 3D and using it as a reference for AI-generated shots (Flick’s 3D stage, GPT Image 2.5, and Seedance).
