Initial ideas

• A possible idea for the film we are going to make, could be a horror film. A horror film might be a good thing to make as it appeals to males and females, whereas action may appeal more to male and romance more to females. Also by doing a horror film, there are many different things you can do to make the audience feel tense, and you can use a range of camera shots to create fright.

• An idea for the horror film could be a girl in a woody area all by herself, possibly at night, walking down a badly lit path when her phone rings and someone in a hushed voice says scary things to her, making her run down the path, where we could have music that demonstrates her heartbeat and loud music that shows how fast her breathing is. Our film could end up being thriller/horror as it would keep the audience on the edge of their seats and make them want to continue watching. Also the bad guy could possibly not be shown until the end so the suspense of knowing who he is and what he looks like could build. At the end she could possibly be caught by the bad guy, and the opening two minutes could end with just the fright in her eyes shown so the question "what happened next?!" can arise.

• Another possible idea could be a zombie film, where we film it in an area with a river and woods, which is dark. We could have person walking along when zombies start to appear out of the water, and start to follow the person. Or we could make a film like '28 days later' where someone wakes up and there are just zombies all around, and they need to find survivers. Another way we could do a zombie film is like 'I Am Legend' where day by day the person is looking for a cure, and still has hope of finding people who are not infected. 

• Although a zombie film could be a good idea, I don't think it will be very easy to do as costumes and make up will take time, and if they were to come out of water at night it would be freezing cold, and it may be difficult to find people who would want to do that. Also with zombie films it is very easy to make the mistake of making it funny, so we could aim for a serious scary one, which in reality ends up being funny to the audience, so our aim is not met, and instead we just make the audience laugh at how ridiculous it is.
