2 Genre
The genre we have chose was horror because we feel it reaches to a wider range of age groups in our audience. Our sub-genre was supernatural horror, as its about a hammer taking over a persons mindset and physical actions. The conventions from the genre that we are following is the dark, empty theme. This is a common theme to have throughout a horror film as a gloomy effect so make the audience feel tense. Another convention we will follow is the setting area. A common place for a horror film to be set is in an 'haunted' or 'abandoned' house and we used the same setting. Usually in horror films, theres lots of jump scares and we show this in our trailer.
3 Content/structure
The name of our film is 'Obsidian'. We called the movie 'Obsidian' because it will create suspicion and mystery within the audience. It relates to our movie because - 'Obsidian' is a black piece of rock (or left over) from a Volcano and in our trailer when the male character gets possessed, the hammer he is possessed by has black stuff on it (like Obsidian) and his nails grow black. The main story we have of the film which is revealed in the trailer, is three teens break into an abandoned house and one becomes possessed and then starts to follow the other two, at the end of the trailer we see him trying to kill one of the girls in the pool, showing his intentions are to hurt them.

4 Audience
g Our trailer can appeal to horror fans of all ages but however it is mainly aimed at young adults - teenagers, as the characters in the movie are of a younger age and the audience would feel like they can relate to the 'normal' teenage characters

5 Representation
In our trailer we have three characters, two girls and one boy. They are represented as average teenagers but then the guy becomes possessed. We showed this by putting him in dark clothes, using dark features to follow conventions and used his hair as a messy way to show he is unstable. We also used his facial expressions.
Institution

We will use the same color scheme for all and the logo with similar photos on all advertisements, to create a branding. The trailer shall be released on social media (eg. Youtube) forms and in cinemas.
