Influences
Nightmare on Elm Street: the reason for this film
being one of our influences is the focus of the narrative; this is because of
the concept that Freddie Krueger (killer) established the slaying of his
victims in their dreams, making him a dangerous figment of the imagination,
which is what we will incorporate into our trailer.
Friday the 13th: This is one of our influences because of the
idea that the killer is concealed by a mask and this dehumanises his character,
which makes the film more intense because he is practically blank. This makes
the film scarier for audiences because the less they know about the killer, the
scarier he will appear.
Slender man: Slender man became one of our
influences because of his appearance, being very blank and simple, which
appealed to the concept of ‘less is more’. This is why our killer will be
wearing a suit with his gas mask in order to prevent him from standing out too
much and being excessively gruesome.
