Genre of Horror
When first thinking of a film concept, we chose to adhere to the genre of psychological horror, as we felt as a group, that this particular genre would be a lot more sinister, and we could choose a much more personal topic to create a horror around.
Films that explore psychological states and psychoses, including criminality and serial killers. Examples-Psycho, Peeping Tom and The Hand That Rocks the Cradle.
Inspiration
We gathered the inspiration for Edward from many areas.
Dexter (2006)
This TV series presented us with the needed inspiration for the title of our horror opening. We liked how this series was named after the killer himself, and also felt it was effective to have one single word. We therefore chose the slightly traditional, yet mysterious name of Edward as it is not a typical, modern name.
