In Jennifer's Body, you meet a main character who is in a mental asylum. You see she has scars over her body, and looks tired and ill. She narrates the film, and begins to tell us about her self and how she got there.
At the start of Sorority Row, it shows a big, old house, that would appear to look scary. As the camera moves closer towards the house, it goes inside, to show a large teenage party. The teenagers are drinking lots of alcohol and dancing to loud music.
The costumes in both films are very different. In Jennifer's body, you see 'Needy' in the mental asylum, where she is wearing the uniform of the asylum. Where as in Sorority Row, The teenagers are in minimum clothing or are dressed up.
The makeup used in both films, is also different. Makeup in Jennifer's Body is used to make Needy look purposely ill and worn out. Where as, in Sorority Row, The make up is used to make the teenagers look nice, as they are at a party.
The lighting in Sorority Row is used to make the party look bright and exciting, where as the lighting in Jennifer's Body is used to make the asylum look dark and horrible.
By researching teen horrors and their target audience, I have seen that males between 18-29 enjoy teen horrors more than anyone. I think this is because they are based on sex, drugs, alcohol and partying. I also think they would be interested in this type of film because they have lots of young female actors in them.
A lot more detail needed here - what ideas from these extracts can you use in your film? How do the sequences encourage us to care about the characters?
