I Know What You Did Last Summer.



In this sequence from I Know What You Did Last Summer, we see the Police officer get a hook through his stomach and subsequently blood starts to poor from his mouth. This is useful to me as it demonstrates the level of violence you see in teen slasher films, where you see the attack, however you do not see the actual stabbing/wounding of the victim. This is compensated for by the heightened ammount of blood which you see, I will be using this type of murder in my film in order to create meaning in the sequence. Also this clip shows Sarah Michelle Gellar behind bars in the back of a car, this symbolises being trapped or shut off in a cage and as such she is unable to help the Police officer who is being murdered as well as being unable to run away from the murderer herself, this is also seen in the styill from Halloween which I have also used for inspiration. The sound used in this sequence is also useful to me, as I am focusing on sound. The sound used in this sequence is used to create tension in the audience in the build up to the murder as well as after the first murder as Sarah Michelle Gellar's character is being chased. I will be using similar stylistics for my film to create the same type of effect on the audience and give the sequence meaning.
