Film idea 2

The second idea for our film is a horror film similar to Paranormal Activity. The advert to Paranormal Activity is composed of quick and simple shots which we could recreate fairly simply. The only shots in the advert that we would not realisticly be able to do is the shots showing the audiences reaction as we dont have access to a cinema or screening room, and the more complex 'happpenings' such as the sheets floating. Both of us have seen the Paranormal Activity films and are interested, this is partly the reason for us considering this idea. Making similar shots to the film is well within our capability as we will need to purchase little equipment or props, considering the first Paranormal Activity only cost a reported $15,000 to make we should be able to make our trailer for a few pounds.

Pros 

• We are both interested in the Paranormal activity franchise
• We can create shots that fit in with the genre and look good with the equipment we have.
• A huge budget is not required in order to make the trailer

Cons

•  Creating the shots may be tedious as methods of making the paranormal happen may be noticable in the shots.
• Lots of takes of most shots will need to be taken as we may not be able to see the errors on the camera screen.
