Moving image inspiration
The Ring (2002) : Our main influence from The Ring (2002) was the Yurei itself but more importantly the appearance and costume of the Yurei. We chose to make our Yurei's skin a similar colour by trying to replicate the blue tint of there Yurei skin to signify that the character is dead/ re animated as it supposed represent rotting flesh. we also took inspiration from the long black soaked hair which we also adapted into our yurei as this relates to the back story around our idea and how the character died. The peeling skin we also took inspiration from this is another sign of her body rotting we achieved this by using glue stick on the skin letting it dry and then peeling it. The actually costume itself we also took inspiration from as a white gown to signify the child purity but instead of using a gown we used a big skirt that we made the yurei wear up to her shoulders.

Grand Theft Auto V Trailer: The initial inspiration for the linear sequence of our trailer which involves the protagonist having a session with a therapist. This idea originated from one of the GTA V trailers as in the trailer the narrations are done by Michel and his therapist while shots set in the same mood are interspersed between them. Although the final idea has very little in common there are still similarity's between the two, most notably the name of the protagonist "Michael" who share the same name. There is also the structure and how the non-linear sequence is intertwined with the linear sequence. The key difference among others is the tone of the trailer is completely difference which is obvious from the topic of the two trailers.

Oculus (2013): One way in which Oculus influenced our final idea was the voice over and how it sound bridge over the shots setting and reflecting the mood of the scenes shown throughout the trailer. The voice over is a little girl adding to the creep factor we have differentiated from this by using an adult male as the main voice over throughout our trailer.The physiological aspect of the scares in the trailer we also took inspiration from as the much of the scares is from what you cant see with much of the scares coming from the emotions of the protagonists, we tried to replicate this in our trailer by making one of the focus the emotional distress of the male protagonist.
