I will face a challenge with making my film trailer as I will have a lack of special effects and special editing.I will have a lack of special effects and special editing as I am using a low budget and I will not be able to afford special systems allowing me to use better special effects and better editing tools.I will also have a lack of special effects and special editing tools as the facilities I am using to edit and add special effects to my trailer only has basic special effects and basic editing tools.

Low Budgets

Low budgets will be a challenge to create a professional looking film trailer as I will have to do my actors makeup myself and I will have to use normal makeup to do my actors makeup as my budget will not allow me to buy special makeup to do my actors makeup therefore my actors will not look as professional as they could do.As I have a low budget,I will only be able to buy cheap props such as fake blood therefore it may not look as realistic and my trailer will not look as professional.

What will be suitable and what wont be suitable?

As I want to do a horror film for my movie trailer and my potential target audience is aged fifteen +,I can not make my trailer too scary or gruesome because my target audience starts from quite a young age,the younger ages of my audience may get scared or disturbed.


A suitable trailer for my target audience would be a mildly scary trailer that is also not too gruesome.
