Influences- Texas Chainsaw 2018


There wasn’t a heavy influence of Texas Chainsaw in my opening however I did take elements from the film to adapt my opening to make it scarier. Texas Chainsaw is known for being a scary horror film, so I watched clips of the movie to take inspiration from to use as inspiration for my own opening. In Texas Chainsaw, there are a few chase scenes which are prominent in the movie which makes the horror film opening scary. I watched some of the chase scenes and I found out that they made the horror film scary and also, he wore a mask which made him easily identifiable as the main villain.

In my opening, I decided to feature chase scenes as I feel chase scenes make the horror films feel tenser and build suspense as the audience are left speculating on what will happen next. Rather than use a mask, I used a black coat with my hood up as I felt this kept the majority of my face covered which made me more of a stalker as revealing little about the stalker which makes the film feel more mysterious. This inspiration was very useful in my planning process as it helped me to analyse what makes horror films scary and focus on the effect that they will have. Therefore I used Texas chainsaw as a basis for my chase scenes as I found myself from watching clips of the film that the chase scenes added tension to the film.
