Tim Burton style film opening

This direction was chosen by the other people in my group as I was away when the class started the coursework. As a result of this, I felt quite detached from the project. I would have liked to put forward my ideas for genre, and style, so that I could be as in control as the other members.  My passion is comedy and I feel I could work better with a plot that has room for humour.  Personally, I am not as familiar with his style as the rest of my group. The message I got from them was that it might be too late to turn back and reconsider the theme. This is why over the Christmas holidays I have tried to see and make note on as many Tim Burton films as I possibly can, to familiarize myself with the conventions of his films.

Another problem I have encountered is that we only have one idea from one group member, and it seems as if no one else feels it is important to think of a range and pick the best one. The idea is:
1.   Previously, in a séance with 4/5 witches, an evil spirit from witch 2 is transferred into witch 1
2.   few years pass
3.   Witch 1 unaware but slowly turns evil.
4.   Witch 1 is with man. Spirit makes her kill man.
5.   Witch one finds out it was witch 2
6.   Witch 1 finds witch 2 and kills
I feel that the storyline is quite complicated, one dimensional and may be unoriginal. when I return to school, I will raise these issues with my group and hope we can come to a better conclusion.
