Creating a new Genre and an Evaluation

From this task I have found that we should have done further research to give us a better understanding of what our target audience was interested in. We limited ourselves by only doing a survey on what genre of films our audience liked instead of doing more than one survey on the conventions of a film. These conventions could include the plot, lighting, setting and characters. For example we could of done another survey on which setting do you find works best in a horror movie? This would have strengthened our knowledge of what our target audience was interested in.
We felt as if we shared the workload out evenly, when we were researching about genre and what our genre would be.

Once being given the announcement that the box-office no longer would be interested in films with the conventions of pscychological horror dramas as they would fail at the box office, we had to repackage our film. Before we were doing a Horror Crime Musical. However we repackaged our movie and overcome this by calling our movie a Crime Musical instead. This process is called regenrification. This has reinforced my knowledge that genre never stays static and always changes and can always be changed.
