His theory says that horrors are more effective in stereotypically safe places, such as family homes, which is where Craven usually sets his films.
His theory also states that there is usually an absence of authority, such as an absence of parents. which removes the feeling of security from the life of the main character. He also believes that blonde girls make the best victims as they appear to be more vulnerable.
This doesn't apply to our project as our victim is male with dark hair. Although this contradicts Cravens theory about the best victims being blonde girls, we still follow his theory as we are filming in a house, which is a stereotypical safe place. (NL)
