psychological thriller The Texas Chainsaw

Horror/Thriller
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. Scream
We Were heavily inspired by the Hidden Identity that
occurred in Scream and we decided to incorporate
that element into our sequence.
9. 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.
11. 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.
