We used the genre as a thriller, and watched other films such as Misery, Cape Fear and Identity. We used these films as building blocks to our film, also using other techniques in our film from  other teen/ chick flicks such as mean girls so we attract a younger year group.

Mean Girls was where we stole the idea of a three way call, so we showed us being typical teenagers talking to friends. From this we were able to show the teenage year group and out target audience.  In the film it worked as we planned and was able to give a teenage effect on the film.

So we was able to fit that into our genre of thriller by showing the effect of them being worried, and the chat taken place. From the shot of the chat we where able able to see all girls personality's of each room of where they live. Having different personalities targets a wider range of teenagers and not on just one group of them. 

Our film fits the thriller because we have a death in the beginning, the makes things creepy as we don't know who it is. Also having the hand on the door, with the sound effect makes people scared and worried, however, we needed to be more carful to not but more scenes a horror movie would have. And as the open scene has a death we didn't want to make anyone jump, as that would of fitted a horror genre, we didn't build up that something bad is going to happen, so no tension was made, the only feeling is that there is a mystery in who killed her. So this fits into a thriller because it isn't scary, it is more of a question, which also linked to our film title.
