Whilst doing genre research we found that it was important too be able too link scenes from our trailer into other films. Most of our intertextual reference's are from Donkey Punch as this was a film that we studied in much detail and has alot of similarities too ours such as; the girls are from Leeds and have Yorkshire accents as do our cast and it has a low budget along with being a British Film. At the beginning of the trailers they show the same narrative, in both trailers their are shots of the girls getting ready, drinking, vodka is used in Donkey Punch and in many shots we have framed it so vodka is present in them. They also both go too a bar and meet members of the opposite sex and the story takes off from there. The females in Donkey Punch are asked if they want too go back too the males boat, the main female protagonist on a Date From Hell asks they boy if he wants too go back too her house.
tagonist being brown haired due too the 'final girl' in Donkey Punch, who plays 'the quiet one' and gets least attention from the opposite sex when they meet at a bar however she remains alive throughout the end of the film.Our main protagonist is also represented this way by sitting by herself looking left out in the bar scenes and being asked too take the picture of everyone else but her.In Jennifer's body (Karyn Kusama 2009) brown haired Megan Fox also plays the final girl, she is shown too be powerful and intelligent. In Donkey Punch the first girl too die has blonde hair, as this is in many films as its mostly blonde haired girls that are portrayed as 'bimbo's', in our production all three of the girls that die have blonde hair.
Our first shot is of the main protagonist shaving her legs, which she accidentally cuts. This has intertextual links too Donkey Punch as the 'final girl' in the film cuts her armpits whilst shaving, as well as this being good anchorage of the genre as it includes blood it also signifies that something isn't right and is about too happen. We based the idea of the main pro

While th
e girls are getting ready and again using intertextual references too Donkey Punch we have used a up-beat techno music too be played over the top of the scenes of the girls as their putting on makeup. The music then changes to a more high pitched tone to signify that someone is going too die, each piece of music within the production contrasts the previous, this is too help the audience be able too understand the different moods and aspects of the film that we as a group are trying to portray.In these fast paced shots which go with the music, there is a over the shoulder shot which is on a dutch angle of the main protagonist putting on lipstick in the mirror. We have taken this idea from The Shining (Stanley Kubrcik 1980) as both shots use dutch angles when Johnny says 'heres johnny'; it helps too conote that something isn't right.We have tried too keep the identity of the killer un-known, this has intertextual reference too Billy Loomis in Scream.

Keeping the killer un-known helps as it gives the audience narrative enigma and may make them want too see the film too find out who it is, keeping this mystery ironically 'teases' the audience within this teaser trailer. In the last couple of scenes of our production the last killing is of a blonde haired girl opening the door and greeting whoever is at the other side of it, she therefore recognises the killer. This has intertextual links too Drew Barrymore (who is also a blonde haired girl) in Scream as shes asks the killer 'why are you doing this?', similarly too what our victim says.
