Progress so far.

We have completed a number of various tasks. We have completed a trailer analysis where we have discovered what a trailer should include and the various information that would be relavant in a trailer. Some of this information includes Stars, director, genre, critics and release date. We found that many trailers will push the names of the stars, this is because stars in a film are able to bring an audience to see that particular film. This can be used a specific type of marketing. We also looked at how a trailer is targeted to specific audiences. The trailer that I personally studied was Silence of the Lambs. This genrally would have been aimed at about 25-45 year olds. Nevertheless there would have been an interest from older viewers. The reason for this may have been that there are some challenging and intricate conceptes behind the film and seen in the trailer. They are more advanced compared to a teenage thriller that may have been aimed at 15-20 year olds perhaps. An example of this may be Scream, a movie in which there are teens that are at a high school. Because there are teens in the movie, teenagers are able to relate to that. Therefore will be interested in the film, the producers will try to market to this age group for that reason.

What we can learn from this as a group is that our film would be aimed at probably midway in the two groups. There are some concepts that 'make you think' along with a thrilling plot that would bring suspense into the film. Our genre of the film would be thriller and horror, being that there is a focus on a killer and a murder.
