Initial Planning Ideas
Production Company Name: Possessed Productions
Working Title: Unvirtuous
Sub-Genre: Slasher
Brief: Teenage girl haunted by her past (victim of a cruel practical joke - Pushed into a campfire, has burn scars) Wants revenge on those present during the joke. The teenager will be dressed in a style too young for her age in which she looks immature, she will then become a gruesome killer.
Style: Non-linear because there will be a use of flashbacks
Influential OTS: Nightmare on Elm Street (flashbacks)
Use of horror theory: Carol Clover - Masochitsic fears and desires, childhood problems, female killer to show gender confusion and a change in stereotype, walls of the house that once kept you safe are now walls that trap you in, no guns but more slow killing deaths, shock in which imagined violence takes place(one such example for this would be reservoir dogs). Barbara Creed, " the horror films obsession with blood".
Wes Craven - Safe places
Wheeler Winston Dixon - "film must horrify the spectator"
Casting: Our group + extras
Locations: Our houses and school
