Influences.

We took influence from the book We Need To Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver. A book about a fictional school massacre.

We also thought about our target audience and took influences from the stories of local serial killers like Anthony Hardy.

This still image taken from the A Nightmare On Elm Street trailer gave us an idea for our own teaser trailer. There is a shot in our teaser that is an extreme close up of a female victims eye with her looking frantically around. The shot of the eye suggests terror and fear and was largely influenced by this shot as shown below.
