Research for Horror Film

Me and My partner, Eve, have been looking for types of music that can add to the sinister opening of our film. We looked on the internet for different songs and came across the idea, from looking at other horror films, that it would be a good idea to include music that resembles that of fairground music. At the minute, we have not got a particular song, but are still searching.

To first of all figure out what genre of film we wanted to do, we set up a survey. We worked out who our target audience was and then applied a few genres to the question 'If you could make a film, what genre would it be in?'. We then asked them what kind of events they would like to be included in their film. The majority of people chose a comedy, thriller or horror. We then decided that it would be difficult to get across the point of a comedy in 2 minutes and felt strongly about doing a horror. We combined horror and thriller to make a hybrid-genre that we felt comfortable doing. We reviewed the examples of horror/thriller given to us and using other films as back-up, we came up with our plot.
