Google Trends
To help us decide which genre to focus on when making our trailer we looked at the trends on Google to see which sub-genre was most popular. This picture shows how the interest in Paranormal films has gone down over the last couple of years. From this information we understand that to base our trailer on paranormal events wouldn't be a good idea as not many people would take interest.
Looking at the other trends of horror film genres, rather than just ones that interests us, also helped us to decide what to base our trailer on.
Knowing that gore wasn't as popular pushed us in the right direction when choosing what way to kill the victims in our trailer. Seeing that the interest in gore was at its highest not long ago means that if we were to use a lot of blood it could be successful.
