Developing my feature film

I decided to work in a group with one other girl. We began deciding what genre we would base our feature film on and as we both had a particular interest in slasher horror's, this is what we decided. We started off by researching on YouTube the opening two minutes of other slasher horror's . The one that caught our eye was "Shrooms" as we liked the style and plot. We therefore decided to base our feature film around it. Here is the link to the beginning of "Shrooms":

We then paid close attention to the titles that are conventionally used in slasher horror films. We saw a repeated use of black backgrounds with white writing. In many films, we also noticed the music was in sync with the titles and came in as the titles did to build suspense. In "Shrooms" there is a vivid use of cross-cutting between two scenes, with the interference of the credits.

We particularly liked the idea of "Shrooms" and wanted to re-make it into our own version. However, as it would have been too difficult to use a haunted, gory house as they do in "Shrooms" we decided to replace this scene with a murder walking through the woods with a blood-stained knife. We also replaced the plane scene with a conversation in a house between two sisters.

Once we had a clearer idea of what we wanted to create, we developed a script, a story board and went location hunting.
