Dear Moderator

Hello,

I hope you enjoy having a look at my A2 blog which I have created this year.

My Research and Planning starts in September and my Evaluation begins in March. You can find my final film poster, magazine and trailer at the top of my blog.

Thank you for all the feedback you have given throughout the year, it is appreciated and has helped me a lot.

Research and Planning: Trailer Conventions

In this years media course, our task is to produce a film trailer or teaser trailer, a film poster and a film magazine cover. After a month of researching the chosen genre that my group have chosen to make (horror) I have a better understanding of what is needed in this genre. The other research I have done is into film trailers and what they should include therefore I need to apply the following to the trailer I will be producing in the upcoming months.
Some typical trailer conventions include:
-Montage
-Release Date
-Name of the film
-Titles/ Voice over
-Production Company
-Sometimes the Film Certificate



This is the trailer for 'House at the End of the Street' (2012) this is an example of a trailer that I cannot create due to effects used within the trailer such as the rug moving by itself. For this movie they would have access to various locations e.g. a big creepy house with a basement whereas I will only be able to use an average sized house which can't be redecorated for the look that I would want for our film.



This is the trailer for 'Paranormal Activity 2' after watching this trailer I feel that I would be able to recreate a film trailer to a standard such as this. Therefore this is an example of a trailer that I could create, the effects are average and not too advanced and the footage isn't filmed on a high quality camera as it is trying to create a realistic look. Even though this trailer doesn't have as many special effects as the one above, I think it is still effective as it manages to scare the audience which is the main aim of a horror film.
