Influence of Production 

Normally in a Horror film the location is normally somewhere where where there is nobody there and there is just an abandoned shed for example and nothing around you but woodland. We had the idea from the film ' Cabin in the Woods' as it is an isolated place and it is quite scary as you are in a middle of nowhere and plus it has the same target audience. We felt that by watching the film we got ideas of how to target a male dominate audience. Also the location of 'The Conjuring' made us consider the time of day to film and what weather conditions we wanted.We filmed in the dark/dusk and if we did film it in the same weather conditions as the picture it will be unpredictable.

The costumes of our actors were not influenced by a specific film, in many films within this genre the antagonist is kept as a mystery in dark clothing with their face covered. An example of this can be seen in the film 'Scream' the antagonist is covered in order to hide their identity and thus building the tension. We wanted our victim to see more vulnerable and innocent hence why Hannah was dressed in light clothing. In our opening we intended to give the antagonist the most prevalence in order to build the tension.

When we were planning our opening, as a group, we discussed multiple different locations which we both agreed should be in a remote place where there is no people/cars around. This sort of location helps to build tension as it presents a fear of the unknown. If the victim dies in this location no one would be aware for a long time
The character we included are very stereotypical as the girl is very young and innocent but finds herself in a different situation, this is inspired by multiple different films.
