Our task was to create a Halloween Flash Fiction Story of 500 words to be entered into a competition for children years 7-9. Therefore my lexical field was halloween and i used words such as: smeared, gargoyles, gothic, sinister, bloodythirsty, creepy, fear, silhouette. i chose these lexis as i knew my audience would understand them and it would create a sense of fear and build tensionl. however i also used more advanced vocabulary to try and challenge and stretch the reader and used words such as figurines, illuminating, unidentified, and exterior as i thought this would make it more interesting for them.
I chose the title 'THE MYSTERY' to engage the reader. i thought that it would encorage them to want to read the rest to find out what happens and if 'he' survives. i chose to do it in red as it means danger and therefore catches the audiences eye. i put a shadow behind it to enhance the fear of the audience and to add to the halloween style.
