Initial Ideas (continued)

So, from all the pros and cons of each genre we looked at, here are some ideas that Danielle and I have come up with for each genre...


Horror Ideas:
We thought one of the characters could be possessed, harming the other characters and therefore putting them in danger. Once we thought of this idea, we looked at the trailer for "Let Me In", "Paranormal Activity 1&2", "Drag Me To Hell" and many more. We thought the film that best suited our idea would be Drag Me To Hell. The characters matched our idea of what we wanted them to be like. There was an innocent girl, a typical looking old lady who puts the curse on the young girl. Here is the link to the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUZTybLlWKI

Rom Com Ideas

Our ideas for this genre consisted of the typical handsome and charming funny male, and a pretty, nervous besotted girl that falls too easily in love! Like most rom coms, theres always the thought coming from the girl that it might not be her, but it is her! :) Once we had thought about this, we again looked at trailers and opening sequences. This time, we looked at "Love Actually", "Made of Honour", "Confessions of a Shopaholic" and "Valentines Day". Here is the trailer for "Valentines Day": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSS-QPdiiiY

Tear Jerker Ideas

For this genre, we thought about a character possibly losing either their mum or best friend, or boyfriend/girlfriend. We then thought about having the character visiting their gravestone, walking away crying. Whilst they are walking away, they have flashbacks showing all the good times they had with them whilst they were still alive. Then they would see people walking down the street, reminding them of their lost ones. We watched trailers for "My Sisters Keeper", "Notebook", "P.S I Love You". Here is the trailer for "My Sisters Keeper":http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HP4NxUFgFrs and the trailer for "P.S I Love You": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GNxdc-wlw4
