Film Opening Idea #2

We looked back at the very beginning of our notes about what type of horror movie we would be focusing on. In our last idea we were aiming for a more mysterious, on-the-edge-of-your-seat type horror. Our idea for making the opening more scary was to try and make it relate more to the audience. This would be by showing a murder or stalker etc. These things happen in real life, whereas a doll is completely fiction and doesn't relate. This is how we came up with the idea of including a stalker who spy's on the two girls as they 'hang out' in the park and go back to their house. 

As a group, discussed about how teenage girls are be shown in society. We came up with the fact that they're either the vulnerable or rebellious type. The vulnerable type of character would be shown by laughter/ giggling, oblivious to their surroundings, etc. The rebellious type would be shown by mood swings, lash outs, smoking, drugs, use of language (not caring) etc. 

As a group we came up with the fact that vulnerable teenage girls would be more easy to target and can relate more to viewers. On the other hand, rebellious teenage girls may put themselves in more danger, soon to have the tables turn against them.

We decided to use the more vulnerable stereotype for teenage girls as they can over exaggerate and go off in their own mind wave, eg. if something happens they think it's the end of the world.
