We were given 5 different options of different types of media product we could create, these were; a film teaser trailer, a short film, a documentary, a soap opera and a children's TV show.
After a short discussion we organized ourselves into groups and together we decided that it would be best for us to do a teaser film trailer because we have had a lot of experience in that area and would therefore be able to do well.
The people in my group are;
- Myself.
- Dean Harding.
- Sameena Miah.
- Thomas Youster.
Once we had decided on the type of product we wanted to make, we had another short discussion as a group and made the decision that we would like to produce a teaser trailer for a horror film.
One of the main reasons we all want to do horror is because it's a genre in which the codes and conventions are easily recognized but can also be subverted to create an original and imaginative media production.
One of the things that was suggested during our discussion was also what direction we wanted to take the trailer, we decided that it would be quite creative to use the upcoming holiday as a basis for our plot. As we were aware that the production would need to be completed by January, we thought it would be a creative idea to base the film trailer around Christmas and therefore produce a Christmas horror film. We think this idea is very original though we have taken influence and inspiration from a film entitled 'Black Christmas' which we can use for research and planning later on.
The trailer for Black Christmas is below:
