As we only had a short space of time to film our bussing scene, we had to make sure we had enough footage that we could edit to make a good chase scene within the horror genre. We found that by creating a story board benefited us when filming, as we knew exactly what we wanted to do, meaning we could refer back to the story board at any time if anyone needed guidance of what to do next. Because horror films are typically filmed during the night or in a dark place to connote fear and suspense, we had to do something similar. This proved to be difficult as we only had a set time to film, and this was during the day, so we decide to use the woods as our main location. This proved difficult as it was hard to create the right atmosphere, which meant it was of importance to use the right shot types and camera angles.
We portrayed the killer as a silhouette dressed in blacked. Which created an air of mystery, while following the structuralist theory, as the audience is drawn in to the fear of the unknown and Propps eight character theory. Feminist theory was conveyed, as the main female character is shown fighting of the killer, therefore breaking the stereotypical female victim.
We used Todorov's theory as the main structure of our scene. It started at the period of equilibrium with the diegetic sound of the birds singing, this was then quickly followed by the moment of disequilibrium which was conveyed through the discontinuous and fast paced editing. During post production we realised that the light added to the the atmosphere of the scene. When she is running away the light becomes brighter, connoting the hope that she is running towards freedom.
