Treatment

What

We hope to create a 90 second trailer for a 70's slasher movie while also creating a corresponding poster and magazine cover.
Why
At first, we had ideas to create a modern horror trailer but then decided to try a different era and we landed on the 70's. as the effects aren't hard to recreate and the genre also interests us as we all enjoy horrors.
How
Using the cameras, we are given we plan to film either in the school or at another location. Already, we have a number of friends who wish to help, whether it be pertaining to make-up, props, costumes or filming. After filming, we'll use iMovie or Sony Vegas to edit our movie. We'll also need to create a strong score to fit the era, most likely a garage band.
Interest
Erin always had an extensive knowledge of horror films. We also agreed as a group that it would be the most popular genre and easiest to create for our project. 
Conventions
We plan to basically conform to the conventions of the era such as; a strong focus on score, a teenage cast, the killer's backstory oddly explained in the trailer and only glimpses of the killer are shown. We don't really want to challenge the conventions of a 70's horror as the style is what attracted us the genre.
