Constructing Film Ideas

HCL and MS: Sinister Trailer

• During the course of the lesson from watching what other groups from previous years had produced for film openings, we decided that our film genre would be a phycoloigcal horror
• We found inspiration from the film (Sinister, Derrickson, 2012)
• We liked the plot of the horror being about a family moving into a new home and finding a recording of footage about a previous family who lived there
• Liked the fact that the film isn't overpowered with blood and gore and is focused on mind games and letting the audiences mind take hold
• Also thought that the location of the film is key e.g where the dad finds the box with the recordings in the loft abandoned on its own which makes the audience automatically associate's it as being suspicious, this could be easily re-created in a different location and still have the same impact on the audience as being significant
