Weapon: Monkey Wrench or Crowbar. Changes to the dress code Weve decided to not have school uniform on any of our character and decided the place of education they go to is not uniform orientated. We have decided to do this because it restricts us from using more stereotypical and un-stereotypical clothing. We are going for an American feel film as this is what most horror films are, but we are having some English film references, with English actors/actresses in an English school. This is done to incorporate both cultures and conventions of horror films. Howard White, red tied and red pen leaked within the pocket.

Changing of dress code for nerd Howard. We decided to change the dress code of this character and base it on the character Shaun Simon Pegg out of the Film Shaun of the Dead. We have decided to make one of the characters from a comedy horror as from our audience research; we found that our target audience enjoy the comedy horror sub-genre. We are getting the character Howard to wear this with a comedic reference to Shaun of the Dead.

Changes in attitudes Sarah Feisty, strong minded, tough, forward and confident.

Changes in attitude Sarah. We decided to change the final girl character and base it on Emma Stones character Wichita off the film Zombieland. The decision was made because we know that we did not want to go with the stereotypical conventions of horror, we wanted to be post-modern and look in at the typical attitudes of a final girl. So we took the typical attitude and changed it to the sort of person the character Wichita is. She is a tough, strong minded, declivitous person who gets what she wants. Also the film Zombieland is a comedy horror which relates to our film, which is why we've chose to go for that basis for our character.
