Initial Ideas

As a group we sat down and created a mind map of initial ideas for our horror film. Overall we all had pretty much thought of the same amount of ideas as each other so we worked well as a group on this task.

It was quite hard to just think of a story that would be scary and clever but I thought of things that could be seen as creepy and scary for example I think children in horror films gives that extra creepiness as children are meant to be innocent and pure. One of my ideas was about a women who could not have children and turned mad by becoming extremely jealous of other women and their children, the story would show her going mad by her collecting toys and dummies from the street then end up as a serious murderous character.

I also tried to think of a horror film which had a sci-fi type feel just so we had a range of ideas, I had an idea that all children born on Friday the 13th of 2013 turn evil on their 13th birthday, the story would then had an in-depth investigation displaying what caused the children to turn evil. However as a group we thought this idea would be hard to make serious and genuinely scary so we looked into a story which could actually happen in real life so we could make people worried that it could happen to them. This is when we decided to look at stalking and created ideas based around that.
