Most of these are Horror/Thriller films, however all of them include a wooded area at some point in the film. As Charlotte and I hoped to end our opening scene in the woods, we felt we should find some inspiration from other films. All seven of these, enabled Charlotte and I to discover what we would like to incorporate into our own two minute opening. We looked at the time of day which was the most effective for filming in a wooded area. As some were set in the day and others were set at night, we were able to see the contrast of emotions that were evoked at different periods of time. Eden Lake shows the woods both in the day and at night. We found that our scene in the woods would look more effective if we filmed it at dusk, as we could create a chilling atmosphere but also be able to obtain different effects with the help of the setting sun. We found that in the light of the day, the setting was far less effective as without violence; as seen in Eden Lake, we would be unable to create a truly Thriller inspired quality to our film. This was also the case if we were to set our film in the pitch black, as without the correct lighting and special effects, we wouldn't be able to create the type of atmosphere that we aim for.
