We gathered several of our ideas for our sequence from watching scenes from other appropriate films. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre heavily influenced the basis for our film, as from it we took the idea of distorted images and clips telling a past horror story. The opening to this film however was heavily narrated, we decided not to narrate our film as we thought this would be less suspensful than if we had a more vague and confusing beginning. We also looked at The trailer to The Grudge, this inspired our idea of having a less conventional explanation of the plot at the start of our movie, leading us to decide on having a phone call playing over our sequence to partially explain but also to create mystery.
Along with other movies, the Girl on the Bridge was a prime example of the use of sound to create an audible bathos within the tension created from the scene.
