The genre of a film that my group and i are going to do is a supernatural thriller. We are trying to achieve this by following other films which have been created as a supernatural thriller so they give us ideas on what to do and some ideas in how to record the film. The film "The Sixth Sense" was a film that we studied and in that opening sequence we found that the director caught the viewers attention straight away and made it clear from the start that it was a supernatural thriller and also it attracted the audience that he was aiming to attract.
In this trailer for The Sixth Sense we can easily realize that it is a supernatural thriller with the way the boy speaks and the first thing he says is "they hanged people here" which shows to the audience that is on the lines of a horror or supernatural thriller. Also the background music is a sort that you would find in a supernatural thriller. The lighting in this trailer is low key lighting and also side lighting which is a key concept to make the audience see its a supernatural thriller.
Paranormal activity is another supernatural film and it is all low key lighting and a lot of hand held camera where we have got our idea as it is a modern way of recording films nowadays. The low key lighting that is used in paranormal activity is very affective and the sound that is used the way the director has made it go really quiet and then when something is about to happen the director increases the volume which increases the chance of the audience jumping and increases the chance of the audience becoming scared by the film which is what the director wanted to do so he has achieved his targets.
