April Fools Day (Fred Walton, 1986)
Budget : $5 000 000
Box Office : $12 500 000
Remade in 2008Set in the 80's as it is a home video
The tape is worn and the quality isnt very goodThe colours are faint and there are black lines on the screen
The location is on a pier which signifies wealth and upper middle class
The women are wearing denim and the men are wearing polo shirts which signifies the time period but also they are in an affluent area
They are all sexually active signified through exposition
There is a blonde girl (scream queen) and stereotypically she would die
Transition to girl in basement shows time has passed
Mid shot of a jack in a box
Close up of womens face shows emotion
Flashback of when she got it as a present when she was younger
Breaks stereotype as no-one dies in the opening scene
