Planning question 4, 2
The group planned a trailer concept about a bullied girl who takes revenge on her bullies after being lured to a fake party and beaten. They based it on the film "I Spit on Your Grave" but with their own interpretation. They storyboarded scenes and took photos to create a trailer in iMovie. Research showed the content meant an 18 rating. Profiles and products were shared on Facebook to get feedback from the target audience. A classmate created a health and safety risk assessment for filming. Scenes and shots from the trailer were written and made into a slideshow. Fonts were found online. iMovie was used to edit the trailer while finding uncopyrighted music.

Planning question 4
The group planned their horror film trailer by finding an abandoned mental institution as a setting, but were unable to get permission to film there. They wrote a synopsis referring to their research on storyline, characters, and titled their film "Final Deadline".

They had to change plans and use classmates as actors instead.
Target audience

Feedback on the trailer suggested improving shot variety and angles. Criticism of the magazine cover noted inconsistent text placement. The poster received positive feedback for its professionalism and reflection of the horror genre. Limited feedback was received from the trailer posted on YouTube, but it was positive about the unconventional music choice challenging horror trailer conventions.
Question 2
