Insight

A recent film Amin saw the group can draw inspiration from is Triangle. It is a Horror under the subclass of a psychological thriller. The story line has many plot twists within it and keeps the viewer on edge and picking up clues throughout. Also a lot of things done in this film are ambiguous and leave things up to the user to piece things together, which our group should draw some attention to. This movie also has less gore scenes as most generic horror films do i.e the "Saw" saga and Hostel. It needs more thought from the audience and we feel this is more useful than just having gore on screen non stop. In turn due to this having less violence as such , other aspects become more apparent , such as lots of uneasy camera shots, "gritty" close-ups, use of sound and notably a scene where she meets herself and there is a 360degree pivot around them. Things which our group can emulate in our own piece.
Here is the theatrical trailer, the example of the camera turn when the characters meet can be seen here.

Our original idea for our media coursework was to create a teen romance of some sort, however the group later agreed on a horror based film as the use of camera angles and shot, soundtrack were deemed more 'interesting' so we started on the production of our horror movie.

To find some ideas on what our movie clip will have and the ideas around it's concept, I created a brief brainstorm (using www.bubble.us) highlighting some various features and aspects of a horror film. I will use this to help my group further create an idea of how we should carry out our horror production and I will also elaborate on some if these points in later posts.
