Chosen Genre and factors to make it look 'Real'
02:58My chosen genre is Horror. The things that I have to use to make it look 'real' and 'recognizable' are things such as shots, dark lighting, low harmonious music, suspicious looking characters. All of these factors have to be used in small amounts, otherwise it will cause the film to be too contrived and deceive the film as being more of a comedy rather than a horror.
Shots play a big part in the films, if the films have limited amount of shots then the viewers will begin to get bored and interpret what the story-line entitles. The viewers need to be interested and persuaded by the opening scene so as to carry on to encounter the rest of the movie. This means that the shots will have to be chosen carefully and with great consideration. The best shots and varied shots which would have the most intended effect will be used in my opening. I want the audience to be on there toes and want to know what happens in the rest of the film, even though it is an opening scene I would still have to make sure that it was as important as it would be at the beginning of a film.
Music and lighting are also very large in the process of creating a 'real' and 'recognizable' horror trailer, this is because it all helps to create the experience and atmosphere of the film for the viewers, so that they can be assured that they are 100% having the full experience of the films nature. The music helps to support the content of the scene, helping to create the intended atmosphere and the idea of the film being an intended Horror genre.
The last factor that I need to add to ensure is at its best in my opening is the suspicious looking characters. The characters need to have their own identity, something that defines them and their own story, the characters have to fit into the storyline otherwise the viewers won't be as interested or engrossed into the film. The characters need to act well but with not too much pressure otherwise the film will seem staged and become uninteresting for the viewers. Characters also need to look a certain way to fit in with the genre of the film being Horror, this means that they can't be dressed 'scary' because it would give the idea of the film away from the beginning. They have to be dressed in normal, everyday clothing so as not to give away the genre and make the film seem more realistic.
All of these factors need to be considered so as to produce a realistic horror film, if these factors are over used or made to be more intense then the film would appear to be fake and comical.
