The Strangers

This is a film i watched that was the same genre as the film we want to produce, i watched the trailer as well as the movie to get some ideas on what different aspects you have to think about when trying to create a decent horror film. Watching this film helped me realise that we had to think of music, lighting, quick cuts and editing and how diagetic sound can be used to create an atmosphere that will scare the audience.

This film is about a couple in a remote holiday destination that get stalked then killed by a family of murderers in masks, they way they build up tension is by not really showing the murderers and rely on the tension being created by the audience waiting in anticipation of what could be around the corner and letting their own imagination create an image of horror in their own head. We think that this is a very good idea and may wish to use this technique in our own film.

This film has givin me alot of ideas that will help me to create a believable and scary horror film, ill have to watch it again and note down specific shots being used that will help and ill also watch similar films in the same genre that i believe can help.
