Possible sub-genres

With discussion, we focused on various different elements of horror that we could include within our trailer. This included:

• Slasher


• Paranormal


• Recluse


• Murderer


• Kidnapping


• Monster/aliens
  

From this, we evaluated the strengths and weaknesses of these sub-genres, deciding upon the following:

We considered each sub-genre thoroughly, with their pro's and con's. However, we preferred the paranormal theme most of all, as we felt this had the most possibilities to achieve within our limits. Although we noticed some effects and ideas may be out of our range, we can overcome this with the editing tools on the Apple Mac's. We can also use a wide range of possibilities, such as not needing to use effects all the time, but the use of costume being helpful for example. Therefore, we are going to focus upon paranormal and conventions that can follow this sub-genre, aiming to achieve a unique trailer to advertise a film.
