How This Information Helps
This information helps me understand that most people like supernatural events. Instead of looking at what movies have recently been brought I looked up what people want to buy or receive for Christmas. This will help because we will see what sub genres people will want from our horror film. Using this I can see that zombie movies do not have very good ratings and people do not buy then as must. They prefer zombie programs such as the walking dead. In movies with slashers people prefer if they are continues as well as extraterrestrial creatures. Overall our idea for a horror is good as it links in with what people like to watch. Possessions and paranormal activities seen to be good and that will happen when we create the stories around the campfire which also could link in with Nightmare On Elm Street as the story comes to life in people's dreams.
