Planning: Initial Ideas

Initial Ideas

     We are more focused towards doing a comedy genre although we would like to make it a hybrid for instance a action/crime/scifi-comedy. Developing this idea we are leaning towards doing a spoof of already established genres, therefore we can still use the common conventions whilst still putting our own comical twist towards it.
  • Horror Comedy (Amnesia-esque)
  • Black Comedy (Quentin Tarrantino style)
  • ‘Cop’ Comedy (Starsky and Hutch)
  • Mockumentary (Spinal Tap, Waynes World?)
  • Romance spoof (Date Movie)
 






     We have also thought about opting for a more mature genre such as a horror/thriller or a spy genre (akin to the Bourne series), although this could be made humorous. Another option was to do a post-apocalyptic genre without any humour as we know of several derelict rundown locations and have a person interest in the subject.

     We already know certain websites whose music is all copyright commons which has different variety and genres of music freely available. This means we won’t be constrained to what genres we do. We also have copyright commons music albums from artists such as Nine Inch Nails and Epic Soul Factory available to use. On top of all of this we have friends who are able and willing to record music for us.

     We also had ideas of plans to use filters and software that would augment the shots manually, which would make the trailer more exciting; exactly what you want from a trailer.




     We also plan similar use of theories in our trailer after researching real trailers and we will be doing another in-depth analysis of a trailer relating to our genre once it has been decided. These theories will constitute to an element of mystery, excitement and reveal the genre which will attract our desired audience.
