My first horror film idea, which was about an Oujia board is very different from the final idea we came up with within my group. The problems with my own idea were that while it had plenty of typical horror film conventions, they were very obvious and had been done before.
With our final new idea, involving government information leaks and an armed response team, we took something current and relevent (the Wiki Leaks), so that it was a fresh idea which had not been over used. This took the idea for the final piece from the horror genre over to the thriller genre. The first idea, although it seemed to fit well, was dated, whereas our new idea is relevant and modern.
In our group, we actually decided to start fresh when brainstorming our ideas, discarding most of what we had previously come up with, because we all felt that we were using conventions and themes which were unoriginal, or that we could not feasibly film. Our inspiration came from the Wiki Leaks scandal, and lead us to consider using this bit of news as the base for our idea.
