Aims and context
The genre of my film is Horror. I would use low key lighting in my film to create a dark, spooky atmosphere. I would also use back lit subjects to create silhouettes, again to create an atmosphere of the unknown. Lots of non-diegetic sounds would be used to build up the atmosphere and to make the audience feel emotion. The target audience for my film would be ages from 15 to about 28. My film is similar to Chucky as it is about a doll that comes to life. Additionally my film is slightly similar to Saw as like Saw my film uses traps and clues to who the killer is.

Although we do not see much of her at the start of the film, Eve plays a vital role towards the end of the film.
