My group and I were figuring out types of genres to make our trailer about. We thought about drama, comedy, suspense, horror, and action. We didn’t choose drama because we couldn’t really figure out ways to show dramatic scenes in two minutes without giving it all away. We also crossed out comedy because we couldn’t figure out ways to make it comical with the dialogue and show connection with diegetic and non-diegetic sound to connect with the comical aspect of it. Another concept we crossed out suspense because of the form and style your supposed to follow and felt it was too restricting and you couldn’t be free in expressing it in a different. We crossed out action because we thought you would have needed a lot of props and editing to make it worth watching. An example would be Mission Impossible because the amount of props they use and the editing is what makes it worth watching. Another reason why we crossed it out was because of the representation of the fantasy of what we think action is ans what makes us tune in and want to watch more of the action shown. Finally we chose horror mixed with the concept of suspense because of how we can easily manipulate it’s form and style. Examples would be quick cut-scenes, lighting, camera angles, dialogue, manipulate symbols, and what the overall convention of what makes horror with the unknown of suspense. Another reason being who doesn’t like horror movies and getting scared every once in a while?
