Introduction to Brief

Hello, my name is Priyanha and I am 18 years old. For my A2 media project I have been asked to create a horror trailer including a front cover magazine and a movie poster overall. I am not a big fan of horror movies but i am very excited for this upcoming project because I know its going to be a challenge for me and I will also be watching as many horror movies possible to help me overcome this fear I have every time I watch horror as I easily get scared with anything.. The first time I ever watched a horror film was with my parents on Halloween. I wasn't expecting to watch a horror film at first but as the movie started I realized it was going to haunt me. The movie was called 'I know what you did last summer', this movie really affected me because the movie included a villain which was a hooded guy and ever since then I was scared to hang my coat on the coat hanger in my room, I was even more terrified of seeing black figures anywhere I go.

Despite the fact, that I do not enjoy watching horror, there is always a part of me that likes something about horror and the plot itself of each movie which is why I always find myself watching horrors just to be scared and under my blanket most of the time. I have watched many horror movies and most of them is me being forced to watch it. Certain horror movies don't actually scare me at all, it's just that it creates tension and that uneasiness feeling due to the visuals. Some of the movies I have watched are: Sinister, Annabelle Creation, The Babdook, Don't Breathe, Hush, Pyscho, The Cabin in the Woods and many more. Considering I am someone who is not a fan of horror and to have watched so many movies it says something about how these movies are put together and the drive it brings you to watch it.
