Influences


Paranormal Activity influenced our thriller opening the most. Many similar shots are used to create suspense, the main being the night vision camera . This type of shot shows the whole room in the picture allowing the audience to witness everything that occurs, leaving them tense and on the edge of their seats. Different features within the film have helped us come up with parts of our film. The feature we like the most is the time shown in the bottom right corner of the image above. This allows the directors to focus their ideas on the times most allocated with danger and crime.

MAMA had a strong effect on us. We have used this video as one of our influences, in a particular scene near the climax of the storyline, a man is alone, scared in a cabin. His torch 'miraculously' stops working a begins to flash. The torch light is flashing slowly continuously, creating an uneasy presence. Flashes dart around the room from the light and the woman appears and begins to get gradually closer to the camera, this promotes fear into the viewer because it leaves them wondering what is going to come up next every time the light turns off. We were strongly influenced by this and therefore decided to adopt a similar approach in part of our clip.
