The cheap 'B-movies' versions (1960's - 2010's) are fun to watch too (often hilariously bad) and can give you more 'left field' ideas due to their low budget - Another idea could be to look at your version being from the viewpoint of another era...eg, if you use the 70's view of sci-fi as the basis for a modern film for example (see link below). <br /><br />An average movie but a nice idea...<br />http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2369317/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_2Alan Postingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09282179748734196674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-154760374061891642.post-77154520024517693452015-05-20T13:36:04.104-07:002015-05-20T13:36:04.104-07:00Hi Heidi

What you're describing is a 'Genre' piece, meaning that you can either make a 'very good one of those' in a particular genre (spy, horror, sci-fi etc - Tom Farringdon / the examples you have already) or approach it from a genre 'satirical/ loving / tropes' view point - A 'reverse' take such as making a deliberately good/ bad trailer. In both cases you need to become an expert in genre cinema (bad and good - B and A movies) so you know exactly what you're making and where modern cinema has originated from. <br /><br /><br />Alan Postingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09282179748734196674noreply@blogger.com
