American Horror Story Coven

An introduction to my chosen horror show.

For my Claudia and Quentin Brief I have decided to chose the horror show 'American Horror story: Coven'. I chose this because I have previously watched all the series of this show and feel as though I could best create characters that will fit into this tv series. Coven is situated around a group of teenage witches that are having to discover who the next supreme witch is, keep their coven from extinction, keep up with their rivalry with the voodoo witches and find out how to manage their own powers. There are various different characters in this show, all of the girls have different personalities and looks however most of them dress in a similar style, one that signifies that they are a part of a coven. This consists of all black outfits and black hats. The outfits that most of the characters are usually styled in involves a lot of black lace and leather, this gives an element of sex and luxury to the aesthetics. The design of the makeup depends on each character, for example some keep the makeup natural whereas others will be a little more daring with their makeup. This tv show appeals to most of a teenage demographic as it has elements of romance, fantasy, horror and the characters are played by well known teenage actresses such as Emma Roberts. American Horror Story has become very popular since it's first series because it involves the same actors in every series, except they play a different role and character each time. The reason that I believe this has made American Horror Story so successful is the fact that the audience come to love each actor and their different role and this gives them a sense of knowing them.
