PLANNING: ADVANCED PRODUCTION INITIAL DEVELOPMENT

For the genre of our film trailers, we discussed making it a thriller horror. When we compared the film 'Yesterday', a drama fantasy, to 'Joker', we all agreed that the thrill and excitement of 'Joker' was more appealing and offered a wider opportunity for skills to be employed in a trailer package. However, the more our research dove into that genre with myself looking at 'IT', 'American Psycho' and 'Us', we realised the horror element to the films wasn't as appealing as a drama thriller- removing the need to incorporate grotesque violence and gore. 
I suggested that the fast paced and intense nature of thriller film trailers provided more avenues to explore. Despite not liking the idea of gore and violence being incorporated into our productions we did agree that the premise of the supernatural is appealing and engaging.
 

The images below explain our brainstorm that lead towards our finalised concept for our film trailer. We discussed a brief plot summary, questions we would leave the audience with and the editorial structure  of what our trailer would look like.
