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.
