We had to come up with 2 distinctive concepts and allow the audience to vote for which one they'd preferred . Essentially we thought this was a good idea because this gave us an overview of what our audience generally preferred and what they would find engaging. We realised that if we chose the concept the audience might have a different perspective, so asking them is a safer option.
Below are the two concept ideas for our movie:
LIKES.Good Strong Characters.
The presentation is nicely laid out. Could work as a trailer. the story-line is quite interesting. |
IMPROVEMENTS.The tag-line is confusing , it's not really re-memorable.
Storyline is very confusing. It would be hard to show who exactly is the killer - making the antagonist and the protagonist the same can be confusing. |
LIKES.The name is good.
Tag-line is quite catchy. Story-line is very strong and clear. Nice use of subverted stereotype by making the final girl a black girl and the alpha female a brunette. Very easy to incorporate into a trailer. |
IMPROVEMENTS.Should be more of a splatter genre than a slasher - LOADS OF BLOOD!

The concept that got the most votes was 'The Cult' by majority voting. People said the concept and idea if the cult was in itself more original than the caretaker as there aren't many films based on solely, you get the odd witch craft here and there but not mainly a cult. This idea was said to be a huge success as the idea is quite distinctive to other horror movies.
