In conclusion to all the research I have done I have learnt a lot about Horror trailers, all of which I will try to include and sculpt my trailer with. I will separate each piece of research I created and write out what I have learnt and then collaborate at the end. To create a list of things that I should and should not do or include with the trailer.
What I have learnt from analysing the trailers
Having watched and analysed many Horror trailers I can take what is good about them and what is bad and use it to help make some rules.
Having watched the trailers I noticed the ones that caught my attention had a gradual change in speed of shots. So at the start it was slow and it let you grasp the storyline but at the end it was fast paced and scary trying to get horror fans interested in seeing it. A good example of this is Devil Inside with the slow shots set in the cafe where the daughter explains the back story and sets up the 'Possession' themed Horror and at the end the quick paced action including superhuman powers, scary characters and short shot times.
Another good point I noticed was the use of many shots. In my previous year 12 Coursework I created the first 2 minutes of a Horror film of which I didn't use many shots, to me looking back on this it didn't give the professional quality that I wanted it too. Therefore a varitey and range of shots should be used in our trailer to give it a proffessional quality.
I also like the use of effects within the trailer, including special effects and transititions. A good example of this is in Dead Silence where the use tranisitions to help keep the audeince interested. They also use special effects which help make it appealing and attractive for the target audeince.
Summary of things to include -
