. PROM NIGHT TRAILER ORIGINAL

Prom Night is a 2008 American slasher film from Screen Gems directed by Nelson McCormick and starring Brittany Snow and Johnathon Schaech.The film's plot concerns a high school girl named Donna Keppel (Brittany Snow) who was traumatized after witnessing her former teacher Richard Fenton (Johnathon Schaech) brutally murder her entire family after he had become dangerously obsessed with her.

My group decided to recreate the opening scene of this film because of the overall suspense and the execution was well done. It's a really interesting clip and therefore the viewer can easily follow the events and understand what's going on. The films' opening scene included numerous conventional aspects of the film genre e.g blood and gore, good vs. evil, and weapons used to commit murder and torture - this opening scene is extremely appropriate for the 'slasher' sub genre. We filmed the scene in a house that we were able to recreate one of the key moments which the group identified as the bed scene. This scene was important to recreate, but we had to make some changes to the scene, by using an all female cast we added a sense of enigma that was a lot more interesting than the 'typical boyfriend, girlfriend break up story'. We still ensured we focused on the main female character who was named, Donna (we renamed her Courtney, a uni-sex name essential for a final girl.) We also stuck the the real story line by including her mother and a villain.

Due to us having a very low budget, the recreated opening scene was not really the same quality as the 'Prom Night' opening scene but we did execute it well.
