Documentary



In our groups we had to make a documentary on out chosen film genre and it had to show our understand and knowledge of the genre and show research so we could make an opening of a film based on this genre. Our chosen genre was possessive horror and we found 4 different openings of the possessive horror genre and analysed them in order to form ideas for our own opening, we all had  turn at editing parts of the documentary. We included the definition of a possessive horror which informs people of what it is and shows that it is different to other horrors , we also created a montage of images to show the elements of a possessive horror.
We gave a list of the codes and conventions of a possessive horror and we researched the elements a possessive horror which make it unique so we could get an idea of what we needed to include in our opening, we did an interview in which we asked a friend some questions for our audience research in order for us to know what people want and expect from a possessive horror, so we can make our opening meet the needs of our target audience.
We came up with a conclusion of what we found from our audience research to show that we have taken on the board responses that were given.i think that making the documentary has helped s to do the opening because it has told us hat a possessive horror is required to have and how people feel about certain elements and aspects, i believe the documentary has been a success as we have learnt a lot about how horrors work and what they require, i think it was a good first attempt at making a documentary but feel we could have worked as a group better
