Influences

What films have influenced your ideas? The genre of our film is a psychological thriller we have been influenced by different thriller films. one of the films that influenced our group was 'When a stranger calls' because the film based on a well known legend which is about a babysitter that gets a mysterious phone call and starts to get stalked little does she know's the phone calls are coming from inside the house. We used this idea because it is well known so we would get a big target audience however we have made it a modern version with it own climax twist to make it relate to the people of the present day. The best films are from remakes. Another good thriller that had an influence to our trailer is 'Perfect Stranger'. This film is about a reporter that investigates a murder case and starts following around a big business man trying to get information. The film has a twist that gets the audience thinking,this gave us the idea to have a twist and a stalker to make it more interesting. Plus we find out that the women that is investigating is actually the killer and by doing this she is trying to hide herself. For the horror effect we watched many differnt trailers to see how the killer was presented and also to see how they had used mise en scene and sound to create the fear factor. Saw was of of the film that used the genre of horror in a different conventional way. This film used in a game process which the victim can end up killing themselves. This is different from conventional horrors because we know who's the killer but he isn't actually killing them he just puts them into a situation.

Poster/magazine cover examples

This is a horror magazine cover Theses magazine cover show two different images one is showing a horror film, the picture is a close up with her faced covered in red make up to make it seem like she is covered in blood. The face expression on her face is like she has just come out the film and straight in to a picture. The other magazine is a picture of sarah jessica parker and she is known to be starring in rom/coms so her picture was taken as her looking in to the camera but it shows a side view of her and it seems as she is trying to give us the impression that she is a cute girl and it shows how she is in her films.

Trailer Idea

Young Girl Possessed Stalker Epic Twist mystery The trailer will open up with the protagonist going through a scrap book of images of the same boy the images are going to be in black and white to show they are from the past and there is going to be a voice over of her talking about the pictures, this makes the audience feel as if they are listening to what she is thinking and because its all about mental problems this is a good way to set it off because straight away its about what going on in her head and how she thinks. It will also be a montage of fast clips to build the tension because it is a thriller, many of the shots will be close-ups to make it more personal to the characters. The trailer would be international because it has a big target audience so it would appear on the internet, television and posters so everyone can see it this is making sure the product is widely advertised.

Location

We based our location in Romford because it represents a young girl who doesn't fit in the crowd. we used Romford shopping mall because its a place were people go with they friends and this is going to show that she's alone and that there is something wrong with her. Our second location is going to be barking. Here we going to use a bedroom to show how the girls home life is and how the obsession began and what she is really going through. The bedroom is going to be the main use in the production because everything began here.
