Planning for production - Two movies I feel in someways is similar to ours




In class me and my group had a discussion about what other horror films we felt shared some similarities to ours, in terms of themes, emotional hook, target audience and shared similar conventions of horror movies. Movies brought up included I Know What You Did Last Summer and Scream, however we felt the two films that were most similar to ours was Saw and Final Destination.
Here are the reasons why....

Saw:



  • Like with our film 'The Examine' they both have the similar idea of putting people who have sinned through a test for their survival
  • The way victims are made isolated and trapped is something we also want to do
  • Saw's use of setting is similar to the idea we had for some of our setting


Final Destination:


  • Both center around the idea of cheating and although in Final Destination it is about cheating death, both our film and Final Destination both still explore the idea of the consequences of cheating.
  • Age of their target audience is very similar to ours (teenagers/ young adults)
