Chosen Genre

Fern and I have previously used the media sources/technology in order to create a film opening, we now have the opportunity to construct a film trailer and wish to be a lot more successful in comparison to the results of last year. One might suggest that last year Fern and I didn't work to our best ability and therefore didn't achieve a grade, which was very high. 

From researching upon different genres of film trailers through the Internet, we have decided to feature our film trailer on the genre; Thriller. Although this may seem unchallenging, as last year our film opening was of a thriller genre, Fern and I already have brainstormed many ideas of what we can apply to our trailer. Nevertheless, from the feedback that we have received from several teachers they have tried to encourage both Fern and I to cater our film trailer around a dissimilar genre, Fern and I feel as though this chosen genre would be best for our adept characters. 

Due to exploring the thriller genre in AS Fern and I are extremely conversant with the conventions that a thriller film should consist of, we have an understanding and the skills to then apply to this year’s work.  The finalization of Fern and I's AS work wasn't how we had expected, one of the reasons for this was because we hadn't incorporated as many exciting elements as we had hoped, we were just being introduced to the basic techniques of IMovie and Final cut express, therefore didn't feel as though we had the correct amount of time to further our skills by using these sources.

Nevertheless, we hope to increase and further our knowledge/skills by accomplishing a successful thriller trailer. It is significant that Fern and I study different thriller trailers on the Internet, as it gives us the opportunity to recognize the essential factors that need to be included within our trailer.  As an individual I am already aware of the basics that a thriller entails, although, from completing this project this year I hope to progress my ideas, by making them more complex and fascinating to the human’s eye. Fern and I aren’t indecisive about our decisions of our chosen genre, as we are certain that it will provide us with many ideas throughout the duration of the making. 

The key reason for why Fern and I had decided on a thriller genre is because we feel it is a genre that entices a majority audience. Despite the conventions a thriller film contains, thriller films also provide an audience with suspense, curiosity, tension and a high level of expectancy, for this reason Fern and I feel that if we produce a high quality film trailer, then supposedly these elements would become evident in our work. 

Fern and I will take on board the opinions of others; teachers and peers. Yet we are adamant on our chosen genre.
