Editing 'Scream Again' (2014)

Scream Again (2014) : The Bloopers

We decided to show our audience some of the things that went wrong when filming. We learned a lot from our mistakes and we were able to improve them.

Prelim task: Scream Again (2014) by Paranormal Pictures

Here is our final remake clip of 'Scream' (1996). Casey is a young girl who is home alone and receives a call from an unknown person who appears to be watching her movements. She then becomes paranoid and fears she could be facing her death. We decided to rename our clip and call it 'Scream Again' as it is a remake and has been done... again.

Shot List/Prop List

Blaire Witch Project

The Blair Witch Project is a 1999 American found footage horror film written, directed and edited by Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez. The film was produced by the Haxan Films production company. The film relates the story of three student filmmakers (Heather Donahue, Michael C. Williams, and Joshua Leonard) who disappeared while hiking in the Black Hills near Burkittsville, Maryland in 1994 to film a documentary about a local legend known as the Blair Witch. The viewers are told the three were never seen or heard from again, although their video and sound equipment (along with most of the footage they shot) was discovered a year later and that this "recovered footage" is the film the viewer is watching.

This film is an example of a mockumentary as the footage was said to be 'found'. The poster below, which was placed in several areas in America, made audiences believe that it was based on a real story which is common with most horror films to make their audiences more frightened. The poster had no reference to the film that was made which led to viewers believing the story.

Scream (1996)

Scream is a 1996 American slasher film written by Kevin Williamson and directed by Wes Craven. The film stars Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, Drew Barrymore, and David Arquette. Released on December 20, 1996, Scream follows the character of Sidney Prescott, a high school student in the fictional town of Woodsboro, who becomes the target of a mysterious killer known as Ghostface. Based partly on the real-life case of the Gainesville Ripper, Scream was inspired by Williamson's passion for horror films, especially Halloween (1978). 

This is a typical 'slasher film' as a knife is used as an iconic weapon which we see constantly throughout the movie. 

Hidden Identity is an obvious theme throughout the film as we as the audience struggle to find out who the masked killer is. There is also blood and gore which is a typical convention of horror. I liked the way Scream chose to mention relevant and current horror films of that time e.g. Halloween (which it was based on), When A Stranger Calls, Prom Night, Friday The 13th and A Nightmare On Elm Street.

The final girl in this film is Sidney Prescott as she is the killer's target however she manages to survive.
