We used Google trends to see how popular the key topics of our trailer. We first looked at the trends for terrorism, as it is the main story line for our trailer, and found that it has been a major topic on the web since 2004, and the threat of terrorism has increasingly been worrying people since then and we decided that this was a good theme for our trailer as it is something our audience can relate to and fear. We also looked at Google trends for 'isolation' as this is what the characters in our trailer face. Much like terrorism, the fear of being isolated has been a popular fear since 2004 and we felt that this was also a good theme for our trailer because the audience can relate to what the characters feel.

This is the Google trends for 'paranormal'. We thought we should search our chosen horror sub-genre and found that since 2010 it has been a very popular sub-genre. We thought this was a good sub-genre to choose because it has only recently become more popular. (rhiannon)
