My Chosen Genre

In conclusion to me discussing the 4 different genre's that i have analyse above, i really think that best option of film genre for me is to do a Horror film. The reason for this is because it is realistically better for me to get props and costumes and get the locations that i need for filming. There are locations that i can access quite easily as they are quite close to where i live and they have the right kind of mood for a horror film if i could go there when it is dark. There is an old church that i can access, there is an old abandoned house and various side streets and cuts that i can also access. Another thing that will be quite easily accessible are props and costumes, this is because i could go to any sort of charity shop and buy an old black long coat with a hood for the antagonist to wear. I can also get some black boots and black leather gloves for the antagonist to wear too. I have clothes of my own that the protagonist could wear and also my friends could help me out with that. I could get props such as a fake knife or something like that. I can get sound effects and music as i could make them on garage band, also I have friends that are in a band and i could get them to play something and record it. All of these things above will help me in making the narrative set pieces that i need, i am able to get all of the cast, locations, costumes, sounds and props that i need to make this trailer. There are other films that have inspired me to make a horror film, such as Paranormal Activity 1,2 and 3. This is because they are all filmed like a camcorder home video kind of film, this is effective in many ways, such as they make the viewer feel closer to the characters as they are kind of drawn in to the home video feel. Another thing that is effective is that you never see the actual antagonist, you just see what happens inside of the house and you see a person get possessed by the antagonist which makes it scarier because we never get closure on what it actually was that was haunting them as we don't see it. Also the locations in the films are all effective as they are in a normal everyday house which again makes it seem more real and that it could happen to you, this is effective because it makes it scarier and it makes you hope that everything will be alright so that we get a definite ending to the paranormal activity in the house.
