1. Horror conventions used in my horror trailer Rational During the making of this horror trailer I would think that it was a more difficult process than I had expected. First of all we came up with many different stories such as a news reporter killing people to save her job and getting more stories in to her agencies. But then deciding on how we are going to get actors, what settings to use and finding how complex it had become to film. Then we changed our story to a more postmodern film because we through it would be less complex to do. After careful consideration, we had come to a conclusion that this trailer would be about a group of students going out and filming our horror trailer and the teacher being the one wanting to kill everyone (a horror film within a horror film). Its is a self referential idea of the trailers narrative as its exactly about our real life A2 media task (going out to film a horror trailer). Its creating humour which could be argued that its linked to a postmodern approach.

2. Behind this trailer would be a postmodernist approach as its knowing the rules and breaking them down doing it in an unknowing way. For example, my research had helped me identify how a horror trailer makes it a postmodern film. I.e. The horror film Scary movie is based on a postmodern idea, as its a comedy of a modern world but still displays all the codes and convections of a horror trailer such as blood, fear, knifes etc. Another example would be Shaun the dead, where its a comedy but includes the essential horror conventions of blood and gore and zombies, making it a horror at the same time but in a modern world of the 20th century. Our trailer was refer to a feminist perspective and get the Promiscuous girl killed first due to the fact a female is seen as a more vulnerable character. This was decided after careful research of other horror films which displayed this such as scary film 3. My target audience would be aimed at the ages of 15- 25, teenagers and adults. I had created a public survey done by people in between the ages on 15-25 year olds. My audience feed back taught me that final results showed that... 4. Title of film Coming up with a title for the trailer was challenging for us as it had to relate to the narrative. The first title we had come up with was The New Girl as there was a new girl joining the college who is the main victim in the trailer. We also did this to present Props theory of characters as the new girl is the final girl as the main actor turns out to be (the hero/princess). However over time we had realised that our title wouldnt be as attracting towards a horror genre. So therefore we had come up with more ideas and decided to call our trailer Deadline as it fit perfectly with the narrative of the horror trailer. To secure this, I had decided to get some views from my target audience buy simply asking them the question; which horror film title would attract you the most. My results showed that deadline would be a more attractive title to a horror film towards my targeted audience. 5. What film title was prefered to my target audience. Blue- Preferred 'The New Girl' Red - Preferred 'Deadline'
