Most of the class said that our idea for the horror was good because the audience are aware of what is going to happen but now it will occur.
Our peers suggested that we have a set idea of how the killings during the film will take place and also rethink the location because we wanted to create an abandoned house setting in our classmate's shed but realised this could create difficulties.
Also we said how we would find filming the correct camera angle shots difficult so we were told to use a tripod to help us keep the camera steady when shooting.
Overall the class thought our idea was a good one but we just had to get our ideas together to fit in the two minutes.

As the Prezi shows we took massive inspiration for our film from the film Sinister.
This film helped us a lot as it had all the themes that we wanted to include in our own horror. Themes of mystery, horror and especially the puzzling deaths.
We incorporated these themes into our own and developed our ideas from there.
The target audience for our horror are young adults as we feel the film will appeal more to them because of the mystery involved in it it will captivate that generation more. Our target audience enjoy adventure and love horror that's why creating the survey made it possible for us to know how to appeal and captivate the audience.
As the images on the prezi shows we want to create a cold atmosphere for our horror and taking into account the answers we received from our audience they enjoyed that type of atmosphere too. We decided to locate the film in an abandoned house setting but also in a home to create that disorientated affect for our audience because the home is considered a safe place although in this case it isn't.
Example of house setting from conjuring movie -
- This scene shows how distressing a house setting can be. Somewhere you expect safety at all times and something horrific happens.
The props and costume we were deciding on choosing were a white overall to make our main character look innocent and highlight her vulnerability. We took this example from the film the ring:
As the image above shows the little girl character from the ring is dressed in a white garment has long black hair and her face looks sweet. This makes her character seem innocent and harmless but that is also what makes her appealing because when she begins to unveil her evil side it will be a shock for the audience, which makes the film more enticing.
- This clip from the ring also illustrates the fear you can feel in a home and it also reiterate that no where is safe and this conforms with the themes of horror.
The only props that we will be using is a rope which our character will be using for the murders and she will also be wearing a red anklet to emphasize her psychotic character. As red represents danger, violence and aggression which are all qualities are character holds.
