The purpose of this research is to allow our group to begin our investigation into what genre we would like to base our film trailer on. By researching successful movies for each genre we were able analyse some of their trailers, allowing us to understand what to include and to disregard to complete a fashionable movie trailer. Additionally by understanding the definition of each genre our group was able to have a clear idea to what each genre means. So if I decided to go into the genre for example, romance I distinctly know what would be the meaning of my trailer.
The most important thing that I have learnt through this research is that it is important for the consumers to identify with the genre when watching a movie, or trailer. For this to happen we have to follow the set of cinematic rules that creates the atmosphere that the audience is able to identify to a specific genre. For example, if you are filming a horror you are most likely going to use low key lighting to create a tense and dark atmosphere for the audience; so they can identify that they are watching a horror movie.
Additionally, from this research and looking at the successful movies for each genre we found that it is easier to film a drama, or romance trailer over a science fiction trailer. This is because our budget is low and it would be hard replicating the science fiction genre, as it would need special effects to make it effective, and due to our low budget this will not be able to happen. Our group also decided that we do not want to choose the genre horror because it is the most easiest to film, and we want to challenge ourselves. Furthermore when looking at other examples of students work the top performed genre is horror, so our group decided to choose another genre as we want our trailer to be different and easily remembered by the examiner.
