Profile is a film created by a group of students from a course which was available to people in year 10 and took them through two years of experiences and fun. It was called the creative and media diploma, and covered many aspects of the creative and media industry. In the second year, we had the opportunity to create anything we wanted, an extended project. A small group decided to make a film, and this is the product. I also helped with the soundtrack and am credited for this.
The film is a horror, more psychological rather than being chased by a physical entity such as Jason Vorhees or Freddie Kruger. It follows a girl who believes she is in danger from a person who wants to kill her. I will not post the ending in case you decide to watch it but it has a good twist ending, and not the kind of twist that results in a broken neck.
The narrative itself is original and keeps the audience tense. I know when I was watching it I felt quite on edge. The way it unfolds really helps this, such as the fact the protagonist ends up carrying a knife she is that scared. Also, the fact we never see the antagonists face helps add tension and fear as we never know what to expect. When an audience cannot recognise what something is, it is in fear of it- human nature.
The soundtrack also helps give it strong horror tones. For example, there is a point when the protagonist is running from the "murderer" and there is a tune played on a piano at a high pitch. It puts emphasis on the fact that shes running and is in fear of this person.
