Researching horror films on the internet, I have noticed that horror films are based on a group of people's opinions of these kind of films in general. Something that could be terrifying to one person but really rubbish to another.
This finding is based on comments to trailers on YouTube where people are saying how scary it is, but others are asking what they are talking about it looked rubbish.
This has opened our eyes as to what to expect as feedback, these findings will help towards the ideas which we collect, knowing which ones will be liked by the majority of the audience. Adapting ideas to fit the demand of the audience is important to any film so when thinking of ideas, this will be taken into consideration.

Radical Change
With the loss of one of our group members, we had decided to completely change the idea for the film from the inital zombie idea to a ghost film. We feel this is a good move as there are alot more opportunities for a ghost film, with variation of what could happen to the victem.
Zombie films do not take much imagination, if you notice on most zombie films, it's the same thing with different people, survive the apocalypse, dont get caught by a zombie.
With ghost, you can pretty much do anything and claim it to be down to the supernatural aspect of the genre.
Also, we feel with the supplies on offer and the ammount of actors we have, ghost would be much easier, with a zombie film you need alot of actors to create the horde effect with the zombies, whereas in a ghost film, a good one can get through most of the film without even showing the ghost as a visible presence with the victem.
