HK - Deconstruction: American Werewolf in London, John Landis (1981)
Release Date: 21 August 1981 (USA)
: 
$10mil
Opening Weekend Box Office: $3,786,512
The setting is in the hillside, looks very isolated and alone, bitter and cold. This could reflect the characters personalities or the themes of the film.
The Production company that this film is produced by is called 'Lycanthrope Productions' This is an example of subtextuality as Lycanthrope is latin for Werewolf.
The titles appear in a San Serif font which is manly used in horror films, as appose to a serif font which is used in more light hearted films such as rom coms and childrens films.
There is a long shot of a car driving through the remote areas with its headlights on, this shot is similar to shots we have used for our production 'Roadside' which is set in a similar location to the opening of this film.
As the car stops the music stops, this helps to build tension.
The music 'Blue Moon' can be linked to a werewolf film as everyone knows the connection between Werewolfs and moons so the choice of track has been specifically chosen for this film
Use of mise en scene has been used with the driver of the truck is dressed in somewhat stereo typical farmer clothes, tweed, wellys and a hat.
Finally use of match on action has been used as the 2 men walk towards the village as darkness falls.

Film ideas used to help our production
Published by George Gamble
When planning our production we looked through many different films to help us pull together ideas for our film. It gave us an idea of what sort of shots, sounds and mise-en-scene directors use when making a films of this genre.
There were three films that we believe to have help us the most:
1. Drag Me to Hell
Director: Sam Raimi
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1127180/
We used the scene from this film of the female (left) being dragged out a car. In our production we plan to also use this idea so when watching this film it gave us a lot of good ideas. We will use a lot of cut shots and rarely show the protagonist face.
2. Halloween
Director: Rob Zombie
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0373883/
In our production we plan to have the protagonist wearing a mask.
We used the idea of this mask when it came to designing ours,
we plan to only show the eyes on ours.
3. Cherry Falls
Director: Geoffery Wright
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0175526/
We also used the car scene from this film to help us. We have gathered
many ideas of how to 'drag' or scream queen from the car and plan to
practice all our different ideas before filming out final piece.

The Settting
We are looking to set our film in a rural area on the addingham moor side.
The idea of this creates an un safe feeling for the main character who is driving along the country road.
There are no street lights which help make the scene more nerving, just the lights from the headlights of the car that shine onto the protagonist.
