The Abandoned 

The Blair Witch Project

The shots above are showing two creepy houses one is from The Blair Witch Project and the other one is from our opening sequence The Abandoned. Both of them were filmed in a creepy house this gives our film an extra effect because the house is the main feature and contains the films story line. The houses in both film are haunted which causes whoever enters it to become possessed.

We used props in our opening sequence and the props that we used was a bible and cross the reason we used this is because in many typical conventional horrors religion is used for help. The shot of the cross is from the film Amityville horror which is also about a house that gets a man possessed.

Aime is dressed in a school uniform this is to establish that she is a young girl and she attends school so this makes her seem very vulnerable. I compared her uniform to a horror Halloween H2o This is also another typical convention.

We didn't use much lighting we left it dark to make her stand out. This to scare the audience because it looks like she's walking into a pitch black room which causes an enigma. It doesn't show whats exactly happing in the room. The camera is on a shallow focus.
