Two main films we have mentioned throughout as a base of our ideas are Saw and Silent hill.
Silent Hill.
Within the first two minutes, the scenes are set. We are first introduced into Silent hill after 2:00 and we are introduced to the family's home. We discover their child is missing, due to the clues given initially of the screaming parent frantically rushing about and holding a bear, belonging to the child.
The main character is a woman, and this goes against the stereotype of a horror film because women are those who are usually needed to be protected, not the ones running out into a dangerous place looking for a lost person. The mother-main character discovers the child after running a short while and she is about to jump off a cliff. As she is about to do this, we get an over head shot which is low angle, showing a camera plunging itself into silent hill and into the 'evil' version of the sleepwalking girl. This emphasizes the horror that silent hill is, it makes things look insignificant and totally helpless.
The film uses high budget special effects, so they wouldn't be usable in our film, however we want it to be as.. visually scary as some parts are later on in the film. E.g the bubble-headed nurses have a very scary appearence.
