Paddy Breathnach (born 1964, Dublin, Ireland) is an award-winning Irish film director and producer. He directed Man About Dog, Blow Dry and Shrooms. He was also involved in the production of The Mighty Celt.
He has received awards at the Thessaloniki Film Festival, the San Sebastián International Film Festival and the Bogotá Film Festival.
I have done research on this director because he directed the film "Shrooms" and my film is very similar to the way he made his. The Psychological element that he added is something my film will will try to reattempt.
He was able to shoot his film with a limited number of locations which is what I am aiming to do. Paddy Breathnatch is a low budget film director, however he is now an acclaimed director.

Notes on Horror
Horror tries to obtain a negative emotional reaction from the readers/viewers by using the audience's primal fears. Horrors also frequently overlap with the thriller genre. IT was after "Dracula" and "frakenstein both in 1931 the the term horror film appeared.
. Horror films deal with the viewer's nightmares, hidden worst fears and of the unknown. When some films contain a plot about morbidity, serial killers, a disease/virus outbreak and surrealism, they may be called "horror".
stories written often involve an evil force, event, or character, usually of supernatural origin, into the everyday world. Themes or elements that often occur in typical horror films include ghosts, torture, gore, werewolves, ancient curses, satanism, demons, vicious animals, vampires, cannibals, haunted houses, zombies and serial killers. However, stories of the supernatural are not necessarily always a horror movie as well.

Shrooms
My new idea for my movie trailer is based on the storyline of shrooms with a nuance. I have my actors and they will go into the woods. There they will do drugs and paranoia will kick in. They start seeing monsters and try to kill them. Not realising that the monsters are actually their friends. I have planned the shooting scenes in the woods so i will be following the conventions of my model film: shrooms.
There are different location shots like my trailer. Most of the shots will be in the woods but i have a range of locations to shoot.
