Choice of Genre

I have decided to make my trailer that of a Horror film. One reason for doing so is that I have access to a victorian house which is perfect for my filming as the environment is that of a typical horror film. The house naturally has a haunted look about it because of it's victorian features and I think this will help me to make my trailer realistically scary.

Horror is my favourite genre because, in my opinion, audiences get the most thrill from watching something that scares them. One of my biggest advantages is that I already have a variety of ideas to film for my trailer in order to scare my audience, whereas if I were to choose a different genre I think I would stuggle to create a successful trailer; I may be stuck for ideas as others do not possess as many typical elements as the horror genre. It is easy for me to create ways to scare people but, for example, it would not be as easy to make people laugh or even cry. Also, my resourses are limited therefor choosing a genre like sci-fi or action would be impractical as I couldn't possibly create a realistic trailer.

I am hoping that choosing to create a horror film trailer will enable me to meet or even exceed the expectations of the audience.
