A nightmare on elm street
The third movie I am looking at is called A nightmare on Elm Street. It was created in 1984 and was directed by Wes Craven who also created the film. As this film was out a long time ago there weren’t as many big names backing up the film as the production company but still a few big names which were just really starting out such as new line cinema and media home entertainment. Thought-out making this film different parts were shot around USA such as Hollywood, Los Angeles and California. There was a very small budget for the film which was $1,800,000 but this amount nearly caught up with them on the opening weekend which was $1,271,000 and when it was premiered worldwide it made a massive budget and the gross was $25,504,513. The reason it was such a high budget was because it was really one of the first slasher movies out because before you had story tales as horrors like Dracula or Frankenstein but this film was just about a man killing people in their sleep, and that was another reason it did so well, it was one of the first psychological movies of its kind as well as it was all to do about the mind and the mystery of why Freddie Kruger is killing in people’s dreams. Another thing which made this a great film at the time it was made was the special effects, yes it looks rubbish now but when it first came out they were amazing and hardly never done before. This was the movie which basically created slasher movies in colour, psychological and special effects all included.
I think that I could use so much information from this film to put into my movie because really the film had no ulterior motive persay . Well you don’t find it out until a few movies after. But it has shown me that it needs to be new as people always want to find the new thing out. So I guess in my movie I could add references to slasher movies like if someone were to just go around and kill lots of people. The target audience for this film was an 18 and I think that’s it suited the film well as there were a lot of killing in the film with blood going everywhere. Also I think this wold appeal to the right audience as yet again just like scream it had high school teens in round about 18 years old and by using the age range of the charters to audience there was a connection. So that was another thing to think about when creating my movie which was to try and relate to the audience.
