unlike the other trailer I noticed how this one used a different
approach, it included the writing at the start and also instead of a voice over
it had words such as ‘death’ and ‘lives’
to capture the audience instead of an oral voiceover, this is because a lot
more shocking sound is used in this one and a narrator would not work when
action is taking place.
Sounds such as screaming, whispering, thunder, winds and
creaks really freak the audience out and helps the trailer advertise its movie
better. Pathetic fallacy is used in horror movies and the night/darkness is
emphasised in this trailer. Suspicious unexplainable events occur at night and
have a relation to danger. The mid-shot
of the trees and the young female on the bed really created the whole setting
and added that little bit more of a fright factor to it as a whole.
The establishing long shot of the house was also done at the
start to reveal where most of the action and abnormal events are going to take
place, much like the romantic comedy trailer. The bird’s eye view shot of the
road was very inspiring and I think was done when on a helicopter?
The cuts used are much more intense and used more regularly to
pick up the pace of the trailer and to shock and scare the audience through
each cut. This really grabs their attention and even though it’s scary they
want to watch on!
The creativity with the bats and the end with the fingers
coming out where done with various zooms and extreme close ups. This was done
to show the grouse explicitly much like a horror movies do. The fact that it’s based on a true story
really does make the whole thing much more realistic and unsettling. I might
take this on board and get inspired from someone around me...
Anyways much more to come stay in tune J
