Summary

This is where i am up to after my research

• That i will be making a horror teaser trailer lasting at least 90 seconds
• That my story line will be based around a ghost, as I feel teen slashers/thrillers etc have been over done, and by doing a trailer based on a ghost could be fun and more scary- and using different elements to do so ( by making my characters good at acting scared and dressing up the ghost scary instead of some guy in a mask with a knife etc)
• My market research questions have helped me with a lot of this research and help me aim for the tastes and what they expect to see in the trailer and helped me make choices with prices and in other areas
• That my poster will cost £5.99- which was near enough same size of the other big blockbusters, mine would be cheaper as its not as successful as them, size 28X43cm as this was the size of my researched posters that valued at £7.99
• That my magazine will cost £5.99- Which was the around the same price as the other magazines
• That my media institution will be
• That my film rating will be a 15 and my film will be released near or on Halloween, as 15-25 year old are too old for trick or treating; so this would be a good time to show my film as couples and men would go see my film,.
• That my target audiences are male or couples (bf/gf) between ages 15-25
• That most people mainly  see film trailers online and on TV
• How to not make my trailer a cliche but unique
• What i would include in my film DVD and the dvd to be £5.99 ( the film poster, mag, dvd all around the same price, £599-£6.99 which is very competitive and affordable)
• For my poster to have a big main focal point (the ghost, unknown- do not see her face!)
• That my film will be released near Halloween

My planning now will help me figure out what props, locations, shots, costumes to use in my trailer.

I sent a message to elstreestudios, which is based in London, its where a lot of films and shows are filmed in this studio like dancing on ice, who wants to be a millionaire, star wars, the shinning and superman etc. I have emailed them basically wondering about looking around and to see what happens while filming, to get tips and tricks with camera tricks and to get a general feel to whats it like to film in a studio. The lady gave me info on how to contact the films directly to see if I'm allowed to look around there sets etc on an open day; i am shortly waiting for a reply from the email she gave me. The studio itself cannot let people look round as its rented out; and i need to get permission from the film company's themselves.
