Research into our genre
Because our film genre is horror, and we agreed as a group that rather than being a slasher horror with a lot of blood and gore our film will be more physiologically scary. I thought of some other horror films that do this:
The Blair witch project
www.blairwitch.com
This website was released after the film to up the fan base. It’s informal and tells us the history of the Blair witch.
* Produced by Haxan films
* The budget was between $20-$25,000
* The film was shown at the 1999 Sundance festival
* It’s the most successful independent film of its time- It grossed $248,639,099 worldwide!
* After watching the film, I noticed that the film contains no blood and gore but the scariest part of it was that it was filmed on a video camera- These are things we should include in our filming. For example use the fact that we only have a camcorder to our advantage and make it seem like the viewer is watching real life footage, similar to how they make the footage seem like its been found in The Blair witch. I think if we include blood, it will make our film look fake and unrealistic.

* The film was written, Directed and edited by Oren Peli
* The film was recorded over seven days in Oren Peli’s home in 2006, with a crew of just three people!
* These people were Peli, his girlfriend and his best friend
* Peli constructed the Ouija board that stars in the film himself
* He said “Similar to films like ‘the Blair witch’ and ‘open water’ I wanted there to be very little blood in the movie; you don’t have to go over the top”
* It was edited on Peli’s home computer
* It was debuted at ‘Screamfest’ Then after this people bombarded the small website asking how they could see the film.
