I continued my research by investigating the type of characters horror movies introduce. The main types of characters horror movies introduce are the protagonist, his companions and the monster/villain. I found Dabble, this article talked about the importance of a character's backstory and the impact they have on the audience.
Even thought it will be complicated including backstory in the introduction of the film, I will try working around it by adding quick flashes of the characters memories. Another element I want to add to the film that will cause me some problems with the time are strengths and weaknesses of the characters. I haven't really thought of a way I could work around this problem yet, but I will promptly.
In my film the protagonist will come from an abusive household, where he is the eldest out of 3 siblings. His younger siblings are depending on him to survive, adding more tension to the opening. I decided that the monster shouldn't have a backstory included in the opening, this is because it makes him more mysterious and creepy.
