An idea that I have stumbled across for my final film has originated from a friend of mine making me watch several horror films over the summer. I am of the opinion that there has not been a good horror film made in the last ten years at least, yet horror films are still incredibly popular.
My friend loved these films and can't get enough of the awful repetitive and predictable plots. I noticed that the film itself could have little or no plot, structure or point to it and my friend would still be happy as long as they supplied him with appropriate amount of scares.
Paranormal Activity is of course a terrible movie, yet it was made with a budget of $450,000 bringing in an amazing $89,748,343 in profit. People like to be scared and by the time they calm down the movie has moved on ten minutes without them missing anything getting them ready for the next pulse racing out from the darkness fright.
I have never wrote a horror film or even felt the urge to, but I couldn't help but look at these films and think, "I could do that". Therefore I have decided that for my final year film I will attempt to write a short horror film with plenty of jump scares, perhaps with a little plot thrown in for good measure.
