Inspiration: The Strangers



THE STRANGERS

The masks make the characters scarier as they are anonymous; this creates fear within the audience as the identities are unknown.
We were inspired by this as we want the killer in our film to be unknown and therefore will disguise him as a clown; we have chosen a clown as it is a common fear for many people.


Lighting
The beginning of The Strangers is happy, with candle lit lighting and a romantic atmosphere.
This influenced our decisions as we want to start our trailer with a happy, party atmosphere, to do this we will use high lighting and strobe lighting to get the ‘party’ effect.
The film then turns scary, with low lighting and masked characters appearing in the background, unknown to the people in the film.

For our film we want the clown to appear in the background, unbeknown to the characters in the film to create fear within the audience. We will also use low lighting as this creates mystery and fear as its dark and can’t see everything in the shot.

We may include 'inspired by true events' like this film has in our film trailer as this makes the audience more scared as they realise it could happen to them and creates more fear.
