At the beginning of the project, our group sat down together to discuss initial ideas for a horror film. We contemplated going along the lines of real horror films such as Paranormal Activity or Shrooms. Both of which challenge the audience, making them think about what is going on and who is making bad things happen.
After thinking about these two films and doing our audience research, we thought about including a type of drug that would cause hallucinations and confuse the characters. Either there would be a killer but the teenage characters are two drugged up to work out what's going on. Or one of the characters would trip and kill their own friends (similar to what happens in the film - Shrooms).
When we decided on our location (fritton woods) we decided against the use of drugs in the trailer because we thought we should concentrate more on a killer to make it less confusing for the audience.
