Introduction

The coursework option my group decided to choose was a film trailer. We chose to do this for a number of reasons, for example;

- It provides the opportunity for each member of the group to have a fair role in the production of our final product, as there are plenty of tasks that have to be carried out.

- It gives us the opportunity to show creativity and to rise to the challenge of developing a final product not only conforming to typical conventions of genre but also creating a USP (unique selling point). We will also be creating two ansillary texts to support our trailer, a film poster and a magazine front cover advertising our film.

From this task we hope to;

- Understand media conventions of genre through thorough analysis of film trailers of the horror genre

- Use working in a group to the best of our advantage 

-  Be able to produce a good final original yet conventional final product
