Hello, this blog covers all the research and planning into our slasher film opening, Camp Ivy. Co-produced with Kate and Millie, and influenced from films such as Friday the 13th and set in a rural location inspired by Eden Lake.

Response to Audience feedback

1. As some of the scenes came across quite comical we have tried to add as many cut away shots to the killer or chase to try and break up the scenes and keep it as realistic and true to the slasher genre as possible.

2. Feedback said that the stalk scene was effective but we thought the chase scene needed more work. A lot closer editing is being done to make it as frantic and panicked as possible.

3. As we start to experiment with sound we are concentrating on the chase scene as this is one we think will benefit the most from effective music. To try and create suspense we plan

4. To try and make the killing scene be more fast paced and frantic we have been experimenting with layering so we are also then constantly showing the groups reaction to the scream. By doing this it is creating more of that quick slasher style killing. It also helps show not too much fake blood, to keep the scene looking as realistic as possible.

5. We have been looking at films such as Psycho to get inspiration for the sound over our killing scene and we have made a decision that the most effect way to approach this would be strings and similar dramatic techniques. This is a clear signifier of what is happening and adds a lot to the suspense and sudden shock of the killing.
