Inspiration - Sorority Row Opening Scene



The genre of this film is Horror/Thriller, we know this because at the very beginning we hear a girl sceaming which is a connotation of something bad happening later on in the film.

When five sorority sisters of Theta Pi cause the death of one of their own during a foolish prank gone wrong, they conspire to discard the evidence and never speak of the nightmare again.

Set in a sorority house. The girls are wearing night wear which is stereotypical of american college girls. There is Party music in the background. It changes when the scene gets serious. We know this is a college party because everyone is drinking, loud music in the background, half-naked, things are getting broke, the house is a mess and strobe lights are flashing. The camera angle is like a point of view short at the beginning due to it following people around and moves like its not on a tripod.
The target audience is aimed at teenagers to young adults. They are represented as college girls who like to party, drink and play pranks. The steroetypes are effective because it fits in with the typical college horror film.
This is also similar to my idea because everything is generally what I'm thinking of doing although i dont want it to be completely similar to this film. In one scene where they think the victim is dead, the people who drugged her, takes her out to the woods and leave her there, then she wakes up after.
