Research and planning

When researching and planning the making of our horror trailer, poster and magazine, we had to have excellent examples of what we were going to achieve in the final design of our products. The easiest ways of research we have found so fast, is spontaneous conversations with in the group and brainstorming ideas and conventions of what we have seen in previous media products from the horror genre. Another excellent resource is the local library, the internet, and a resource we found extremely helpful is Blockbuster.
We have used search engines, but the most useful and the one DRP is most familiar with is Google. This has helped us drastically by giving us links to different websites. The secondary resources we have used were Wikipedia. We had to be careful as this website is edited and the information shared is from the public; however all of the information we have used from this website has been reliable.
The best resource we have used regarding the internet is YouTube. The efficiency and the content we have watched on here helped us a lot. It helped us more so in the area of research and planning for our teaser trailer as we were able to find other teaser trailers extremely quickly.
Blockbuster is our favourite type of research, as a production company we have watched various horror movies to help us with looking at the conventions of horror movies.
Our local libraries also helped us, as there was a wide range of horror movies there also.
