Mood boards

Influences We studied up on the location we had chosen which is visible on the mood board and is the building situated near the top right, its a run down building in Little Plumbstead, however it has a very sinister look to it with how it stands now. From this we tried to capture inspiration from horrors such as the Blair witch project with the idea of our footage being captured on a hand held camera, however not the whole trailer/movie would be filmed in the point of view shot. The Cabin in the woods gave us a few ideas such as the group of teenagers going away and horrific behaviour to take place whilst they are at their chosen location, similar to our idea with the group thinking the location is perfectly fine but soon come to regret the choice. Obviously a lot of our inspiration came from Paranormal Activity with that being the best selling ghostly horror movie. We wanted to replicate some of the ideas from the film such as the objects being thrown and doors slamming etc. However we needed a villain and Paranormal doesn't have that soul villain visible throughout the film and that is where Halloween 1978 comes into the influences as this was a big hit within horror movies, although our film won't be similar to the Slasher horrors, we thought of having a villain after seeing the film. The Ouija board is a potential idea within our film however it has not been determined yet, however, it influenced us with the ghostly behaviour as that is what Ouija boards are designed for. Audience We thought up potential targets for our audience and began to think about who we are trying to target and the things they are interested in so we can perhaps make reference to them within the film. We included brands that would be particularly popular with the teenage and young adult years, for example brands such as Vans, Asos and mass media products such as Snapchat and Twitter. This is because we felt as if horror movies now intrigue young adults mainly and these particular brands are increasingly popular within that generation. Therefore we decided that if we were to try and make reference to brands similar to this it may attract people within that age range and these would therefore be our chosen target audience.
