Existing Media Products



I've looked in to similar products such as the trailer for the film 'Unfriended' which is a new film based on a group of friends using a social networking site to talk via a group chat, then suddenly someone signs in to their friends account who passed away and the whole film is based on their conversation and the bad things that happen to them.. they all see each other die one by one. The story id based on technology and how it can be manipulated to go against people and shows them how unsafe they are.

One of the main things that scares people most about this trailer is how relatable it is. In a lot of horror films it is obvious what is going to happen almost all of the time, with their generic story lines and plot twist. However unfriended plays on the audience's experiences with technology and open we are to technology so the film is based on factors which the audience is already familiar with which then makes the film more scarier than it seems.

I have taken inspiration from the film rather than copying the story line. For example i have decided to use technology such as FaceTime which links to the unfriended film.
