IMDb
We used IMDb in our research to help us understand what was popular in the horror genre as this time.
Both of the top 2 in the horror charts were paranormal, showing that they are clearly popular and encouraged us to think that paranormal is the best sub-genre to capture an audience's attention. This would suggest that paranormal would be a successful sub-genre to use for our trailer, as people are still clearly wanting to see this sort of horror.
We discovered that the top horror was 'Carrie', which is based on a little girl that 'unleashes telekinetic terror' on people due to a bad experience at childhood. This suggests that people may find horrors that relate to young children are scary, as they are often seen as innocent and pure due to their lack of experience.
World War Z was 4th in the chart, showing its popularity and success. This is a zombie movie, suggesting that zombie is a good sub-genre to consider when thinking about what we want our horror trailer to portray.
IMDb was very useful to us because it supported us with some good ideas that we have used to help us develop our final trailer.
