Today Hannah and I created this mind map of ideas for our Teaser Trailer. We decided to explore different genres which we thought would be easy for us to create a teaser trailer in. We also thought that most of these genres also fit into the Horror genre, so we decided to put some films into which genre we thought they'd go into. We also put in subcultures as within many of these genres there is sub genres.
We decided on these genres: Horror, Thriller, Psychological Thriller, Action/Adventure & Science Fiction, in each genres there is a sub-genre except for psychological thriller which we thought was pretty self-explanatory, in each sub genre we listed films in which we thought would come under those genres.
Into the Horror Genre I put Hand Held camera, into which we put these following films; Blair Witch Project, Cloverfield & Panoramal Activity. Into Gore went these films; Saw, Hostel & Sleepy Hollow, and in Mass Murder we put these films; Scream, Saw, Nightmare on Elm Street and Halloween. Hannah and I thought that these films all kind of went into one genre, which was Horror but they all have their different elements which makes them different from each other.
In the Thriller genre we put Crime and Dark & Mysterious, in the Crime genre we put these films; Don't say a word & Die Hard. In the Dark and Mysterious genre we put these films; The Grudge & The Ring. However each of the films we put into these genres could probably fit into the horror genre aswell.
In the Psychological Thriller genre we put these films; Shutter Island, Mind Hunters, The Shining, American Psycho, Silence of the Lambs & Inception. We decided that there wasn't really any sub genres to psychological thrillers as they all mess with your head. We thought that these were the best films for us to put into this genre.
In the Science Fiction genre we had two sub genres, Aliens & Supernatural. In the Aliens genre we put these films; The Alien Franchise, E.T, Signs and Predator. In the Supernatural genre we put these films; The Exorcism of Emily Rose, The Unborn, The Others & Panoramal Activity. However I think that, as a group we've decided to not do Science Fiction because it will be too hard for us to complete within the time limit we've got. Also to make a Sci-Fi character is too advanced for us to do on the editing software in which we have.
And, Finally in the Action/Adventure genre we had the two sub genres, Action and Adventure. In the Action genre we put the following films; The Dark Knight, Lord of the Rings, The Matrix, Indiana Jones, Inception and James Bond. In the Adventure genre we put these films; Pirates of the Caribbean, James Bond, King Kong and Jurassic Park.
So, overall I think we're going to go down the Horror/Psychological Thriller route for our film this year, I am pleased with our decision because it is completely different from our decision last year, in which we chose Chick Flick, this time we can use different camera angles and play around with the music, lighting and time of day.
