As you can see, we took in to account all the feedback we received from our target audience. Our sub-genre is psychological horror because our audience told us they preferred horror films which contained a hidden message. We also decided to film in school as the majority of them believed that filming in graveyards or haunted houses etc. was an overrated concept. They also told us that the white gown gave the killer a 'mental and derranged' look. In addition they also told us that supernatural powers are the best weapon because it gives the film a sense of mystery.
