Virus production

Hey it's Hannah again just wanted to give you some more information on how we developed our idea.
We saw a small example of a low budget production called virus, this used the idea of web cams and technology to base their film. We were strongly influenced by this as it showed us how we could use web cams effectively within our thriller. Virus was more horror then a thriller, we astablished this because they use super natural references where a thriller is more realistic with it's content though the genre of virus is debatable. During this horror a man uses an internet chat room and web cam to see his wife/girlfriend but it differs from our storyboarded thriller as they use a virus file which opens up the webcam and then the wife/girlfriend gets taken away by a supernatural being. The whole piece is set within a office and used the idea of silence but having enhanced diegetic sounds for sounds to do with technology. We decided to stick to a more realistic approach with our thriller by using humans rather then supernatural beings also with a realistic story line which is exaggerated in some parts for more tension and auidence pleasure. This film helped us a lot to define the fine line between horror and thriller and allow our piece shine through as a thriller and not have to be debated over the genre.
