Original Ideas

For our horror film the group generated several different ideas concerning the sub-genre within the horror genre, for instance, whether the film would be a comedy horror or a zombie horror etc. In the end, the group decided that our horror film would be supernatural, similar to paranormal activity, meaning there would be ghostly behaviour within our film rather than one solid villain who is killing everyone with his bare hands. We then had to decide on a location for our horror to be set within, we narrowed it down to two primary locations, a place known as Little Plumstead mental hospital and a rundown church situated in East Somerton. We finally decided that the hospital would be the best location as it has some history attached to it and the run down building looked perfect for a horror film to be set within. Our idea for the horror film would be similar to The Wrong Turn movies, in the sense that a group of teenagers would set out for some sort of adventure and then things to turn on them however rather than having psychotic killers we would have one black figure visible within the film, he was the figure of evil and from him doors would slam, open and objects to be thrown at the group of teenagers with no sign of a culprit. These sort of ideas were the initial ideas that were generated within the group however nothing was fixed until the filming came so we were able to adjust and strengthen ideas, shot types and potentially a location if our first choice was unavailable.
