Gothic architecture

Gothic Architecture Is another way of drawing people in especially in horrors/thrillers almost every horror film I have seen has a mysterious looking building or house. In the Victorian era beautiful gothic buldings were made. I feel that's another reason people were so obsessed  with the concept of horror as it was everywhere they went it also became fashionable for the house to have a horror feel to it. Even some Victorian houses were built to look like medieval castles with pinnacles and turrets.
These were some images I took around Southampton trying to capture the Gothic architecture

I took these images on Southampton common hoping to portray a horror factor which I feel worked well. I tried out different angles and kneeling on the floor to take the from a child's perspective especially the gate as It reminded me of his first encounter of Miss Havishams house. I feel that the image with the smoke worked well to add the smoke I let a cigarette burn by the side of my camera to create the appearance of mist 

  

Houses of Parliament (also known as Westminster Palace) as we know it today, took around 30 years to build, starting in 1840. It was designed by Charles Barry. I feel that this is another example of Gothic Architecture as the sharp points and straight lines create the theme Gothic also the dull colouring.

Another example of Gothic Architecture is when I went to Paris is the Catacombes de Paris which was a very eye opening experience and very shocking as I've never experienced anything like it knowing that I was surrounded by real life skeletons and how they were formed int shames and placed there must of been thousands while down there you could help but have chills and feel un comfortable down there which I feel is the key to Gothic to make you feel on edge
