Analysis of survey
When reviewing our survey results, we analysed some of our key findings that we will take into deep consideration when filming our own opening scene and will be very useful when looking for inspiration for our own story line. They include:
Q- What time of day to film?
There was a clear result to this question as the most favoured time of day to film was at night. This may be because the dark setting connotes a more sinister and feared atmosphere which will be effective when achieving the horror genre.
Q- Whether to include dialogue or not
We thought this was important to ask as when watching previous film openings there was a huge variety with the use of dialogue. We found that most believed it would be more effective without dialogue therefore we will try to keep it at the minimum when filming our opening scene.
Q- What age should our characters be?
From this question we identified that the age range 18 to 25 was most desired group of people. If we are unable to find actors within this age range we would be prepared to adapt our costume and makeup effects in order to meet this
Q- How should we deceive the killer
Our results present the conclusion that concealing the identity of the killer will be most preferred. This was closely followed by the 'masked' option. Therefore, we will incorporate the technique of ensuring the identity of the killer is not visible to the audience.
Q-General comments about horror film expectations
We had a variety to responses to this question covering a range of topics. One in particular that gained our interest was 'possession' and 'religious imagery'. This lead to us down research on religious symbolism and see how we can develop those ideas into a horror film. We were then inspired to watching some religious possession films such as 'stigmata'. Other responses mentioned the idea of building up suspense as this is a main desire for a horror film. we feel this can be achieved with the technical use of sound and by creating fast cuts during a scene using postproduction as this is a would of building up tension. Others mentioned about the setting; 'dark setting' 'pathetic fallacy', and these comment all create an inspiration for us when creating our own story line.
