Are there any elements of deliberate pastiche or parody, where you 'play' with the genre's codes and history? Are there any intertextual moments where you hint at a reference to another film?
Personally I believe that our whole piece is a sort of pastiche/parody of horror/thriller concepts. This is because it is set in the woods, a girl gets killed from the stalker who's face is hardly seen, a lot of running, same camera angles as that genre style uses, and heavy breathing with shouting of names. So I believe it is as a whole. I don't believe there is any intertextual moments where we hint to other film references. Where our original idea came from was one day me and Whitney were having a discussion about my poetry, then how we could have a narrator reading a poem, then how it would involve a stalker and a girl. Looking at how many films use the horror in the woods idea it seems quite clear that it is a popular one as fourty plus films from the 1970's up to the modern day has used this style.
