QU1

We are going to be making a horror film, with the physiological genre because we thought this would be the most interesting one to do and we all had to agree on it. We will carry out the research into the horror films by looking at other horror films that are similar with genre and the representive target audience. Also we will look on the internet and collect information about the ratings for films and find similar ones to help match up with our film. Our initial idea was inspired by ‘The Amityville Horror’ as our initial idea (although has been adapted) was that we would have killings of people at the very start, also showing very fast shots and lots of shots integrated. We have used the idea for our real horror of the similar shots. I feel that producing the film was quite a challenge as we had to film a various amount of scenes, however it went quite smoothly and we managed to work well together as a group. I worked with two group members and we mostly split the work equally. It worked out well taking turns in the different jobs. However sometimes we had to share certain jobs when there wasn’t as much to do, I don’t think this was an issue though.

The bedroom scene we were inspired by with the gloomy looking lighting.

The inspiration of Jane's character, from the Amityville horror as she is so innocent, although we have changed it in ours as she is not all that innoncent although she is being possesed by the doll.

The Amityville horror stairs inspired us for our horrorfilm as they are wooden and creepy looking, we use this idea for oursas we have a wooden banister and Jane slowly slides her hand down it.

Both of the stairs have photos's also showing the family backgrounds, this appears to the audience that there is more to the film than what they see regarding history of the characters.
