Initital Ideas

We discussed our initial ideas for our horror film on Wednesday, and although we didn't come up with a script, we talked about the aspects we'd each like to bring to the film. We want to use a series of flashbacks embedded in the present time to hint at the viewer of what is to come later on in the film. We're following at least one stereotypical horror film convention by using a young female as our main character because women are generally seen as being more vulnerable and are more likely to make the viewer feel fear for them than if it was a male. To come up with ideas, we thought about what scared each of us personally, and then listed them as potential flashbacks. Some of these ideas included;
A man standing below a window, under a street light
Someone hidden behind a door
Headlights of a car coming around the corner on a dark lane
