Analysis of Titles

Initial Ideas/brainstorming session

Once my group and I had decided we wanted to create a horror film, we began brainstorming ideas. Firstly, we had to decide on which type of horror film we wanted to create. Below is a brainstorm my group and I came up with when trying to figure out which kind of horror film would be the best to do.

After brainstorming these and looking at the respective trailers, we decided that it would be easiest/most viable to create a paranormal or Slasher film, as these rely far less on expensive special effects and sets. Below is another brainstorm which details our initial ideas as to plot, setting, props costume and so on.
