We used the popular television programme 'Big Brother' and the successful film series 'Saw' as inspirations for our film. We combined the two ideas to create the narrative of our horror. We used the 'Big Brother' setting, a group of contestants who live in a house together, and complete tasks for rewards. However we slightly subverted the conventions of the show and decided it would take place within 24 hours. We then used the 'Saw' idea of gruesome, pain staking tasks that people have to complete to survive. Therefore we have the idea, of often deadly tasks taking place within a 'Big Brother' environment, and this creates the narrative for our horror.
We also used the idea of the antagonists in 'Saw' as inspiration ( as shown above). We therefore decided that our antagonist would use the mask, whilst "in character' as the 'Big Brother'. This creates a kind of split personality, the human man behind the mask, and the mask itself which is a kind of characture of the antagonist.
