When creating our opening sequence we deliberated on which of the conventions of horror films we would use. We decided to make quite a clever opening that was enigmatic rather then gory. Hence the removal of blood from the list.
We developed some of the conventions that we believed were quite tacky.
Example between it and a real sequence are below:
Creating a 'trendy' look for the characters was key to portraying their niaevity at the situation.
We used the realistic burnt down hotel in order to create a realistic effect of the goings-on. It also allowed a high polished piece of work that we couldn't achieve. We simply didn't have access to huge studios and special effects.
The very tacky (if old) Frankenstein like monster escaping from a cave simply wouldn't appeal to the target audience. We developed these older style conventions into something much more usable for our modern target audience.
In the majority of modern and old style horror films, gore is highlighted.
We took a lot of inspiration from What Lie's Beneath.
