Interviews
During the interviews that we filmed we learnt lots about horror and specific things that people enjoy about horrors
For example in the interviews 50% of people that we interviewed say that their favourite sub genre of horror was "slasher" and these interviews helped us to decided what sub genre our opening title sequence was going to be.
We also learnt that people are disturbed by gory and graphic deaths and so we made sure to give a sense of fear and tension to allow the audience to see deaths ,like the ones mentioned, occur with in our own opening title sequence.
Also as a group we learnt that people don't like locations that are supposedly safe like "warehouses" "car parks" and even "houses" therefore we decided to film at a school, which is usually a very safe and scure location but we added darkness and silence to the footage, building up the tension with in the actual clip(s) themselves.
The weapons that people are most intimdated by are often ones which are sharp and violant and so we have decided to use the sterotypical weapon with in a slasher.... the knife. The knife is perfect as a weapon with in a slasher because it is easy to hide and is very light enabling it to be used any way necessary but it also casuses extremely deep and painful injuries to the victims intensifying the situation it is used in.
