Updated Film Idea

Today me and my group met together last period and we discussed the feedback that we recieved from the focus group and shared our views and opinions on what we should and should not use for the film trailer. Also from this we made changes to different aspects to our film trailer, for example the title and narrative.

Film Title: We dicussed about changing the name of the film as one of the focus group participants made a suggestion of using the word ''Transfixed'' instead of ''Oppression''.

Film's Narrative Summary: A young couple, Maddie and Elliot inherit a house after Maddie's parents are tragically killed in a terrible accident. Dishonesty and murder stand to pull her into the depth of despair. Taunted by the dead, betrayed by those she loves, blood and murder stand a chance to send her insane.

Theories:
Final Girl Theory
Male Gaze Theory
Levi Strauss Theory
Todorov Theory

Film's Horror Conventions:
Blood will be used in the film trailer and as the prop it will be used to suggest violence and the struggle in which the characters are going through.
Drugs will be a prop that is used and plays a important part in the film's narrative and the film trailer.
Threats
Paranoia will be an emotion in which the protagonist feels, therefore the audience become worried for the character and this creates a relationship between the audience and the characters.
Characters fear creates tension for the audience
Reality helps shock and frighten the audience more as the audience may think that the film could be real or that it could happen to them.
Hidden Identity creates mystery for the audience but also fear as we don't know who the character's identity is.
Death and Violence
Audience and Character Perception is an important part in what makes a psychological horror different to other horror genres.
Isolation
Depression is an emotion in which the character will feel.
Insanity
Jealously
Revenge
Nightmares / Dreams is also a key part is how the audience will view the film trailer as we want to merge the dreams and reality therefore this will get the audience thinking,
