Hidden Identity
Hard Candy We Were heavily inspired by the interactive dialogue that occurred in hard candy and we decided to incorporate that element into our sequence.
Uses of Technology ✔
We Developed this convention as we used a mobile phone as the use of technology instead of an chat room on the internet. We Felt that the phone was more of an personal approach to the character that was receiving the messages and pictures.
Scream We Were heavily inspired by the Hidden Identity that occurred in Scream and we decided to incorporate that element into our sequence.
Hidden Identity ✔
We Challenged this convention as we didn't use a mask which would entirely block the killer/kidnapper’s identity. However we did have the villain in dark clothes with a hood up with is a modern way that identity is hidden.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Crime at the centre of the narrative ✔
We Developed the convention of crime being at the centre of the narrative by showing a newspaper article that was in the process of being made by our main character we did not show the article being made we show the main crime. We also decided to challenge the way the crime was presented as we showed this on a computer screen. Whereas Chainsaw Massacre showed written.
