Abstract

In this work, we reflect on the results of a practical research developed in 2018, in which a group of undergraduate students of Cinema and Audiovisual adapted scenes from the epistolary novel The Turn of the Screw (1898), by Henry James, for audiovisual language, using intradiegetic cameras. This work analyzes stylistic choices of the films made by the students, relating them to the epistolary literature, to the found footage horror films, to the digital horror phenomenon and to the so-called glitch gothic, to describe and discuss some implications of an educational activity developed in a Social Communication course.
