"Tell me when the lambs stop screaming" (Intro)

Hey! Alix, Lauren and Kia here! :D
Okay, so.. first blog. 

 

We are following our brief. Which is:

To create a promotional package, which includes; a teaser trailer, together with two of the following; a website homepage/magazine front cover or poster.

 We have had a fair few ideas of which genre we could research and do our coursework on. These include;

• Romance
• Teen (Horror)
• Crime/Thriller

• Quite quickly we decided to rule out;romance, as we didn't feel there was much scope to create that genre. As we have a very low budget, which would make this specific genre much harder to create.

• After doing some more research into romance in particular, we discovered that, firstly we would need professional and quality actors. To prevent the genre being portrayed as very corny and cheap. Moreover there are many complicated copyright laws, especially with the non diegetic sound as we would probably need an existing and inaccessible song.

 We are currently looking further into the crime/thriller genre as we could successfully create this genre using genuine actors and props that our group have access to. Creating a soundtrack for a teaser trailer would be simpler as well because we are less likely to have to consult copyright laws. This genre also interests various members of the group who are fascinated by criminology in the media...(and not). E.g sociologists. This also relates to TV programmes that we have watched such as; Spooks, The Bill, Waking the Dead, Wire In The Blood, Silent Witness and Taggart

• * We have researched the sub genres of Crime which are: Gangster Crime, Crime Thrillers, Crime Horror, Crime comedies, Film Noir, Mob Films, Heroic Bloodshed, Heist Films, Police Procedural, Detective Film, Legal Drama and Prison Film. Within these sub genres we have obtained a list of films that we have started watching for inspiration.
• We have not yet decided on a specific sub genre but we are currently thinking about doing either Gangster Crime, Crime Thriller or Crime Horror. Once we've decided one the sub-genre which will hopefully be sometime this week, we will begin constructing ideas for a plot and promotional package. we can also allocate films in this sub genre to watch and deconstruct.
  
• That's all for now. We'll keep you up to date!
