I have chosen the genre of Horror for my film teaser trailer. I decided to choose this genre because horror films are one of my favourite films to watch as I like the suspense they create and how they keep you engaged and on the edge of your seat the whole way through. You constantly have something new to focus on so I wanted to see if I could achieve something of a genre that I enjoy to watch myself.
“Horror films are unsettling movies that strive to elicit the emotions of fear, disgust and horror from viewers.” In my opinion there are two main types of Horror films. Some horror films include blood, gore and violence and others take more of a psychological approach and rely more on the aspect of suspense to keep the audience shocked and at the edge of their seat. I am going to focus on horror films that use the psychological approach and get inside the views head.
Conventions
Horror films often deal with the viewer's nightmares, hidden worst fears, revulsions and terror of the unknown. They usually include scenes which startle the viewer and repeatedly involve the intrusion of an evil force, event, or person, commonly of supernatural origin entering into the everyday world. Themes regularly interpreted into horror films include ghosts, masked people, werewolves, zombies, serial killers, haunted houses, demons, vampires and curses.

The genre of Horror is so broad I am looking forward to interpreting horror in my own way and producing a convincing teaser trailer which leaves the audience with chills.
