How did you use technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?
Within our research we used websites such as IMDB to look at ratings and reviews of similar films to the one we are trying to create.
We came across films such as Parnormal Activity: The Marked Ones(2014). This film was very similar to ours as it has a young cast. This allowed us to pay homage to the film, inspiring us to come up with creative ideas to grip the audience to their seats.
Using this site was very useful, allowing us to navigate around the website quick and efficiently seeing films that were successful and recent ones doping well on release. This gives us a clear indication of what our audience would like to see, giving us criteria to create a successful horror trailer with scary, original and exciting ideas.
