After a long discussion we finally found the genre that we are going to use for our Film Trailer. After we'd found that the genre teen horror would be a good idea, we thought of using that genre and add a few elements of thriller. This is a very common combination that is very popular now a days. These movies have more of a scary factor than blood and gore that is common in usual horror movies. We will try to make a movie that is comparable with "Paranormal Activity". Obviously we are not going to copy the storyline, but we are going to have a look at the filming methods and how the scary aspects of the film have been built in.
Paranormal Activity is a low budget film, that has been very successful and very impressive, that shows that even we, as a group can do a good film trailer with limited equipment and maybe not the most high tech softwares.
Another good movie with good aspects of the genre we've chosen is The Traveler. It is a very good movie that has been produced very recently in 2010. The genre is classified as Thriller/Horror, there is a very good mix of both aspects that is visible while watching the movie.
The main points that we have to look at now are, to find out the key elements of the genre Teen/Horror...
The main aspect of nearly every horror movie is that it involves normal people, living a normal live, but then suddenly their live changes because something happens. At the beginning of the movie the environment is usually very bright and there is no sign of horror, but through the progression of the movie, things change and the real story -> genre pops in. This is a very common point that nearly all horror movie producers use to build up the perfect tension and fear while watching the movie.
Another main point would be the location where the story is set, it has to be a very specific location, making it possible to build up the aspects of tension and fear. It is not easy to create these feelings in a movie, but when successfully realized the effect on the audience is tremendous.
One of the main key elements of the genre "Horror" is the editing, this has to be done in a specific way to, again get the wanted Horror feeling.
The acting will probably be one of the most difficult key element, but this is less of a problem because we are more concentrated on the actual shots and editing, I'm pretty sure we'll find a way to get some good actors for our trailer.
