The genre that I have decided to go with is horror, this is because I am myself a fan of these types of films and know the necessary techniques that can attract the target audience to it. I have also been attracted into watching films such as Paranormal Activity because of an effective movie trailer which created tension and left the audience wanting more and this is what I aim to do with mine. I have also chosen this genre as it has a very wide target audience which will benefit our trailer as a very varied audience will enjoy it I feel, making it more successful. The main target of the horror genre is to scare people and I feel that I can use the right techniques and editing to make this possible. My favourite types of horror films are paranormal types like Conjuring and Insidious this is because they are more realistic I feel as things like ghosts are real and I feel the audience can relate to this, for example if it is something like a monster then it can be seen as quite childish. The main common characteristics of all horror films are that they are fast paced with many jump scares, people who are oblivious to the scary things going on and the main characters are on a quest to try and overcome the 'problem'. It is also very common for horrors to have a hidden story behind them, usually is to overcome your fear no matter what it is, for example I recently saw IT and the hidden story was to overcome the fear in your life to overcome the clown and not be afraid anymore as the clown fed of fear.
