Job role for short film trailer

My role – Actor and Location Recce (Antagonist and extra )
All of three us took the role of Cinematographer too when making our short film .
Genre
Main Genre – Horror
Sub Genre – Comedy
Influence
The influence for my groups short film is Sacha Baron Cohen’s character Dimwitted Nobby from the film Grimsby. His character is my groups influence because Dimwitted Nobby is a comedic and foolish protagonist. Moreover, we wanted a comedic protagonist for our short film whose personality is inspired by Dimwitted Nobby.
In addition, our sub genre is also influenced by Grimsby. This is another influence because the film Grismby has a lot of comedy in it and we wanted to include comedy in our film to entertain our audience.
Risk Assessment

Conclusion
Overall, I feel very happy with our final trailer as I understood how a comedy genre is aimed at a target audience and how it will entertain them. Moreover, I experienced the role of a cinematographer and learned how to make a perfect film scene by using different camera shots.
An improvement we will like to work on in the future is explaining the narrative more because our trailer only gives some detail of what the narrative for our film is and more narrative details must be included to our target audience understand’s what the story of our film is.
To improve, for a future film trailer project, I need to understand more about the comedy genre and learn how to do more camera shots when filming and being a cinematographer.
