Four Friends start to receive morbid valentine day cards. Someone out there is stalking them....someone they all spurned when they were younger. And Valentines Day 2001 is the Day she/he gets their revenge.
----------------------------------------------------------
This film is our inspiration as we liked the idea of a guy seeking revenge on girls from his past who rejected him on Valentines day because he was seen as looser.Our plot is different as they aren't linked in intimate ways and we all have personal reasons for bullying him as are character types have diverse motives. The main theme behind the film is love which is why its called 'Valentine' a day where people express their love for one another. Our theme is just twisted revenge as the characters push the protagonist 'One step 2 Far'.
The trailer uses medium shots and diegetic sound to make it seem like they are in an ordinary state where they cant be harmed but the voiceover foreshadows whats about to happen and creates more of an understanding.It also has non diegetic sound which is parallel to the shots used such as when someone gets pulled back and the girl panicking. It uses fast paced shots which fade to black and that's used when there is a iconic scene like when the girl (played by Denise Richards) is screaming for help as the water is rising up.They use a soundbridge that plays until the end to finish the trailer when the name of the film comes up.
The lighting used is low key to make it seem like theres something lurking around and high key which is used for the normal scenes.The target audience of this film is 15 which is similar to ours as there isn't that many gory scenes and swearing is to a minimum also escapism is felt from the audience.The trailer uses a lot of flashes and fades to black and we think this is a key element to make it more dramatic. Its a hybrid slasher genre thats horror/thriller/romance.
