The document discusses how the filmmakers drew inspiration from the 1978 film "Halloween" for their killer character and mask. Specifically, they note that the mask worn by Mike Myers in "Halloween" has become iconic and symbolic for the film, as it hides the killer's identity and emotions. Seeking a similar effect, the filmmakers chose to have their killer wear a mask to keep the audience guessing and allow them to better convey emotions through an expressionless mask.

1. INSPIRATION FOR OUR FILM

2.  Itis from this film that the inspiration for the
character of our killer came from. You can
see the clear similarities between the Killer
in our film and the part of the Killer in
‘Halloween’ played by Mike Myers.
The mask
The weapon

3.  We found this to be an inspiration for our film as the mask of Mike
Myers was symbolic to the film, when the film ‘Halloween’ is
mentioned, the instant imagery would be Mike Myers' mask.
 The mask used in ‘Halloween’ is seen to be iconic to the film
because the thought that goes on is "beyond the mask“. It easier for
the character to show he is motionless with a mask on because it
never reveals a smile, which symbolizes that the character is full of
hatred.
 As we are not the best actors we thought it would be perfect to wear
a mask because we will reveal emotions better through the mask as
the audience can create an image of the character in their head and
also keeps them guessing about their true identity.
 Also, it would make the character look more appropriate for the
genre category.
