Preliminiary Task - What and Why

Our preliminary task is the opening to a horror movie which is set in a school. It features all your common things that associated with a horror movie such as suspense building music, creepy items and a killer. The plot is built around a cursed hanging doll, which is found by the two teachers in our film opening, and a masked killer who catches those entranced in the doll. We chose a school as the setting for our task because it is a real life place and I personally find horror films which are more realistic, like "Jaws" more scary than fantasy horrors such as "Killer Klowns from Outer Space". We chose to have a killer as we believe you can't have a horror movie without a killer.
