Brief 1 - Music Video
Brief 2- Trailers
Brief 3- Short film
Me and Steph Martin have decided to work in a group for our A2 project.
We have chosen to brief 2, Trailer.
The genre we have chosen to focus on is Horror, which we are very familiar with due to the fact that for our last project we focused that around this specific genre.
Currently we are getting some consumer feedback for the specific codes and conventions that should be in our trailer. Steph is producing a questionnaire containing questions about trailers and genres to help us meet the consumers expectations. It will be handed out to students/teachers and family members this will be helpful due to the fact we can have a big sample and can exclude any out liars.

1. What do you expect to see in a trailer?
• Main actors
• Music
• Distributor
• Wide range of shots
• Fast pace
• Name of the film
All people who answered this questionnaire circled all of the above, apart from the fast pace, this is because it is specific to the genre of the trailer... At this point the audience we've asked don't know what the genre of our film is yet. We just wanted their general opinion on what is needed within the trailer.

11/20 people pretty much implied that they're more attracted to a trailer if it has a lot of fast paced action within it, and memberable music within it.
The 9/20 amount of people said that it's the characters within it, the bigger the star the bigger the impact.
