Genre.
The genre I have chosen to do is horror. This is because horror was the most popular answer from my questionnaires. Also from my own experiences, horror is my favourite as the narrative of horror is tense and always keeps me interested from the scary storylines.
Production Dates.
My production date will approximately start in the last week of January 2012 or the first week of February 2012. the final dead line for when my trailer will be complete will be the end of March 2012.
Medium/ format.
I will be making a film poster to advertise my film trailer as this will be successful in appealing to more people. I will also be making a website as a way of advertising and this is because more and more people are using the internet now and therefore will, allow more people to hear about the film.
Duration/ length.
30 seconds to 1 minute.
Target Audience
From analysing the results of my research, I have decided to target my film trailer to people aged between 16- 20 years of age, this is due to this age group being the most popular answering horror as their preferred genre of film. I will be targeting my trailer to males and females so that I have a wider audience and both genders like horror.
This age group is also my own so I know what to put into my trailer and on my website to appeal to my target audience. By targeting at this age group, it will allow groups of friends to socialise together by going cinema or just watching it at home.
As it is a teaser trailer it will make a group of friends to go cinema as they have seen the trailer, so this is a good age group to target my audience at.
Production description.
The name of my film I am making a trailer for is called, A Thirst For Killing.
Her body was never meant to be found. Her existence was never meant to be revealed. But one day Jordanna was in the wrong place at the wrong time and un covered a deadly secret. As Jordanna starts to learn that a young girl was killed (Louise aged 11) she wants to track down her murderer, but what she doesn’t know is that Louise was killed for a reason! But when Jordanna starts to see things that you shouldn't see, every one thinks she is going mad. Its not until Jordanna learns that Louise is an evil spirit that has a thirst for killing that she knows that Louise was killed for a reason. Can Jordanna stop her or will she become one of Louise’s many victims never to be seen or heard from again?
Maybe this secret was best of kept a secret………..
Recourses and equipment.
For the pre production I will be constructing storyboard as this will allow me to have a set idea on my film trailer and how to improve from there.
The resources and equipment I will need for the production is a camera and tripod. This will allow me to have steady filming.
For the post production I will be using Apple Mac Imovie editing program to edit my film together.
I will also be using Moon Fruit to produce my website for my product.
Target market place
As I am making a moving image my target market place will be on the internet and television. This will be the best way to market my product because more and more people are now on the internet and the age group I am targeting my product at, are the age group more likely to go on the internet.
