The genre is horror, this is communicated very quickly by the title sequence, but also by the location it immediately starts in, an eerie, dark woods. Mystery is also introduced by the characters phone message, but also by the mystery of the scene where she is on the toilet and the writing around the cubicle is scratched into the wall, and as she looks one way we see an eye through a peeping whole, we know she is being watched.
The production context is British, we know this because the entire story is set and filmed in England. The character's are also all from England, and the dialogue they use is mostly in a british context, with the traditional slang and bad language that we use.
The stars involved are Iain De Caestecker who plays Tom, he also appears in many other british titles such as Corronation Street and Filth. The Character Lucy, played by Alice Englert, is also an actor who appeared in the British Movie Ginger & Rosa. As they are English characters, the english audience can understand them more, which is where the target audience lies.
The narrative relates to the production context in that the characters are on holiday in the woods, this is very common in many british films, using the landscapes we have.
The technology used is mainly the effects and props used to make the blood, injury's and broken down car's, because a British context has less money involved to create the technology or props and less technology, because the context is less advanced than hollywood.
The same as the last two enough to pass you for GC2 but I need a lot more detail to put you at the higher level. You must discuss key examples, like you did for your Silence of the Lambs post.
