Friday the 13th detailed analysis. - Our main inspiration

The main inspiration for our film was Friday the 13th , as stated previously in the blog. Jason was the key element which we wanted to adapt int our film. The masked killer is a character which we think is superb when making a horror film as it adds aspects of fear , mystery and confusion. Jason who was the serial killer of the young teens within Friday the 13th has become the most iconic serial killers within the horror film genre. He has progressed on to star is other films such as , Jason V Freddy and more. This is why we chose to gain and absorb inspiration from some of the aspects the character Jason showed within the film. We also wanted to interpret some of the shots and sounds used when portraying a masked killer, to show the audience the insight of a killer and how they perceive the world before they embark on his murderous killing spree

Unmasked title anaylsis - P.M and R.S(blue)

We have chosen the title for our horror opening scene as the term unmasked  exposes the true character of someone by stripping a mask or disguise from them. 'Unmasked' also suggests that there is mystery in the film. This links to the hooded figures with white masks that we used in the opening scene therefore creating an element of suspense as the young teenage girl is unaware of who is actually behind the mask. It may be a ghost like figure haunting her or possible trying to harm and kill her. Another alternative option may be one of her friends who is simply joking around with her. This creates a sense of ambiguity and fear within the central protagonist leading to us also experiencing the same emotions. The title itself consists of a black font with aspects of white within it. There is also a loose in which the letter 'A' is contained portraying an element of the horror genre as it connotates death as looses are used to commit suicide. Therefore, the masked figure may reveal his identity leading to death of the character.

The colour black is used for our title as it represents death and darkness suggesting that the story line has a very horrific and dark atmospher with in it it is also a black smeared style, it can suggest that the title is written in blood again reinforcing death , murder and mystery. It makes the audience question who is the "unmasked"? are they the murderer? Who will be discovered culprit for they deaths of the innocent teens. The noose again suggests the style and manner of which the murder likes to leave kill his victims in, the technique used suggests to the audience there may be a repetition of the killings, knowing that whoever is hung will is definitely the victim of the "unmasked". The use of a noose helps the audience look into and question the killer's technique, why would he use such an traditional form of execution to kill his victims? What mind-set does the killer have to use this form of killing?. We have carefully constructed our title to leave the audience, questioning the narrative within the first two minutes to encourage them  to continue watching the film
