I think that our film reflects the genre we are trying to pursue quite well. The scenes we filmed were set out specifically to match the personality of the main character - Harry, which is indie. We took special care in ensuring that the bedroom of which we filmed in was presented as Harry's would have thought to have been. Another thing we added was a ringtone of indie genre music (The Kinks - You really got me) But unfortunately, we had to edit this out for copyright reasons. This is another example of a problem we faced throughout the editing process.
We got a lot of our inspiration for this particular genre from films such as Rear Window, Fatal Attraction, Taxi Driver and Les Diaboliques. As a group we watched a couple of these together and some on our own and developed a passion for this genre of Psychological Thriller.
Our film is somewhat similar to those listed because they all have a sense of mystery. The audience are made to feel uncomfortable, unsettled and eager to find out what happens next.
We established the plot together as a group once we'd decided on the genre, and this flowed fairly smoothly. We didn't have any disagreements as such and everyone was happy with the roles. There was one instance of role swapping as Jess decided she didn't want to act at last-minute, and Abby stepped in and took her place.
