Reseaching SLASHER Costume and Prop

Victims or hero within the slasher films are likely to wear ordinary cloths of what people may wear daily, such as jeans and t.shirt both in light colour.
This all suggest that ordinary clothing portrays the through that the characters are innocent, but it is the innocent people that find that trouble or bad things come there way.

The killer within the slasher films are likely to wear a mask and wear black, big, long costume, which hides identity/ body feathers and makes them look strong.
This all suggest that this person(killer) is different from others and make them look dangers to be knowledge, but hard to find.

A best example of them both(victim and killer) is Friday the 13th, where the killer uses a white mask and straight jacket to cover its identity and the victim wears simple jeans and T.shirt so it makes them look innocent and venerable.

"Art of the title"

                   


The opening title sequence uses visuals different corner of a city, and gives institution information of the cast and crew. However in a short sequence so the audiences don't get board and get an idea of who, and what the story is about. This is our inspiration as we will be using visuals of the Arboretum(location) and put our cast and crew in bold writing. So its clear, and keeps audiences interest like it did in Panic Room.

We will be designing the title sequence by recording small parts of the location such as the hills, tunnel, roads etc. And then going into the beginning of the two female characters walking into the road. Showing something that relevant/shown(micro picture) in the movie in stand of using something that relates/represents(macro picture) of the movie. Then editing in the names of the cast and crew, that maybe hand written or typed in creative writing.


The design inspiration is from the movie PANIC ROOM but the creation is taken from 

Kyle Cooper on of the title creators of movies.

Effect used in 'The Ring'

In the movie 'The Ring' there is a scene in which the main killer (Samara) climbs out from a televison in attempt to kill the victim (Noah). During this scene there is a very interesting editing technique used to give the effect of the killer teleporting from across the room to appear in front of the victim. This type of editing is called a jump cut and can make the killer seem a lot more intimidating which is why is wish to use this in our slasher movie project as our killer shares the same characteristics as Samara.
