Task 1 Thriller/ Teen movie

TASK 1
A movie that I saw a few days ago that has inspired our work to be a Teenage Horror movie was "Donny Darko". This movie inspired our movie that my group and me are doing. A movie where the main character is in high school and because he is trying to control his psychological problems he is confined to a medicine which makes him hallucinate the devil in the form of a Big Black Bunny Rabbit. This genre appealed to us because being in a boarding school we can have a teen movie which relates to us in the best way possible.

Also we chose to do a thriller/horror because our school grounds have a lot place for shots that involve scary camera work and also plots that have the thriller scenes of set up. From old churches to graveyards to dark and dingy boarding houses we can create a thriller easily requiring not to much of effort to find a good location.

What are the main characteristics of such a thriller slash horror movie would be a set up which involve a school or a university. This makes it easier for people to show teens at the prime with relationships , sports,parties and such things. The horror factor comes into the equations when one adds a serial killer or a rapper. Or when the group go on a road trip and get lost just to find out that they are getting chase by a mad man with a chainsaw.

There are many ways in which we would represent horror and teen movies in our school. Using boarding houses and many locations which involve old buildings and basements to get the shots right.
