My Intentions

My name is Ryan Scragg, from Biddulph High School. This is my A2 coursework where I will create and evaluate a film trailer. The genre I am going to follow is horror as I believe it will be the most entertaining and interesting genre for my trailer.

In order to get a good idea of a sub-genre for my horror movie I have researched the best horror movies which were made on a minimalistic budget. This will give me a good idea of which route to go down in terms of producing the trailer.

This screen shot shows that from my research I have found that horror films, such as 'Paranormal Activity', can make a huge amount of money from a micro-budget. From this research I have decided that the best way to go about my trailer is to use the same technique as 'Paranormal Activity' and film my trailer using handheld cameras, giving my audience a more realistic feel.

'The Blair Witch Project' is another example of this.
