Inspiration - Gothika

As our genre is horror, I look into research from a film called Gothika which has a similar idea as our one (girl in a mental asylum who shouldn't be there).

The shot where there is writing on the wall in blood is very typical of a horror genre but very scary and has given us inspriation for us to do something similar to this is our teaser trailer. The blood will be representing danger and obviously the colour red has connotations that will be linked to anger, death and rage.

The character in Gothika looks very tired and run down from being in the mental institution and this is how we would like our protagonist to look in our trailer. We will do her make up to look very pale and this shows she has no emotion. Although the teaser is told from our protagonists point of view, we want her to look scary and weird to add effect to our trailer as in the end, she finds out she is not innocent. Halle Berry in Gothika has red marks around her eyes which signifies crying and we will use this effect in our trailer. Her hair looks greasy and unstyled which is also how our protagonist will look.
