GENRE CHOSEN : HORROR -WEREWOLF

We have been torn between two genres, Romance and Horror, but since researching further inot both we have decided that Horror is the most appropriate for our Teaset Trailer. We felt that if we were to approach this genre again we would do it from a different angle, this would allow us to do more original and in-depth research. We wanted to do a specific type of horror and one different to last year’s psychological. Eventually through group discussion we decided to go with the idea of Werewolves.

Currently the media industry is experiencing a second revival of the super-netural sub genre with the hit vampire saga, Twilight and the remake of the Zombie film, The Crazies. The next move from the film industry could be Werewolf, so with this in mind it would be cool to predict the next move of the industry and possibly beat them to it!

Also Werewolves appear to be more glamorised in popular film, films such as ‘Twilight’ teens are able to sympathise with them, we also wanted to mix this with the current popular trend of celebrity obsession, teenagers become infatuated with celebrity culture especially that surrounding the ‘Twilight’ films, this has brought popularity to both werewolves and vampires which we would be able to tap into.
