Group meeting 1

`1`Decisions made about genre and why

Firstly we made a spider diagram on the different genres we could choose from, and narrowed our choices to either a comedy or a horror. After deciding that a comedy would be alot more difficult to have good productoion value, a horror was the genre we chose because we all enjoy watching them and have seen alot so know what makes a scary film and what doesn't. After seeing films like Paranormal activity and Blair witch project that are know for using little or no blood and gore we thought using none in ours would also make the film of a better quality. Another film that we used for inspiration for our ideas is 2008 film 'the strangers' with the idea of a group of people at home and them being terrorised, strange events in the opening such as a phonecall and the sound of the ringing match similar events in the strangers.

Plot for opening sequence

Three girls are moving into a new flat, whilst they are walking in with all the boxes, a strange man is watching them- they don’t realise. When they get inside, they celebrate the move and listen to music. (Superimposed images) One of the girls walks back down the stairs to collect another box, she sees an old lady and she stops and talks to her about the flat that the girls are moving in to. The lady seems worried and makes a quick exit. The girl is left wondering. (at this point we will see superimposed image of the man standing over a girl at the bottom of the stairs) Back in the flat, the other two girls are still celebrating, one looks outside to see a man looking up at her, she alarms the other girl and they ignore him. The one who was by herself walks back into the flat to find the door left ajar, and the other two girls not there. She starts to worry and rings the two girls to find that they are not answering, it goes to answer machine. She hears the doorbell go and is reluctant to open it. When she does, it is the other two girls at the door then the door closes and the titles come up on a black screen.
