Horror Genre.

We are focusing on the supernatural horror genre for our teaser trailer and have looked at alot of teaser trailers which have given us inspiration for our own project. Below are some trailers in which helped us think of a story line;

From this trailer of Paranormal Activity 2, we liked the idea of the canted angle at the beginning as this gave away to the audience that something isn't right and so we thought this would be a good idea for our trailer. We also liked how it was the actors that filmed but didn't chose to do this as we would then be copying the whole of the trailer. from this trailer we also thought that the shot of the girl stood in the door way with low key lighting suited the genre well and so we chose to use this idea in our trailer but not in the same location.




The Last Exorcism is another example of a supernatural horror trailer in which we got inspiration from. From this trailer we found that the color grading was very effective as it showed a contrast from when something is normal to where the girl is possessed. We thought this would work well in our trailer but we intend to use alot of drained colors in ours when the woman becomes possessed. The music for this trailer relates well to the story line of the film as it is about an exorcism and uses church like music and so for ours we shall use a quiet style of music and we intend to discuss this when all our footage has been done. In this trailer we liked the idea of the girl holding the camera as she walks and so we intend to do this for our trailer but use a blared effect showing that she has done something wrong.


 We have also looked a old film trailers and found that Beyond The Door is a very good trailer showing supernatural as it is set in a house and seems very realistic. From this trailer we have decided to use the idea of the door but have expanded the idea and slamming the door with a scream to follow. In this trailer there is a smash of a plate but no body does this and so this causes excitement from an audience point of view and so throughout our trailer we intend to do this, we will discuss this when filming. The costumes work well as they relate to the time period and in our trailer we will keep this going and use up to date fashion showing it is a 21st century film. We also will dress Grace (our possessed) girl in a white nighty which is typical for a horror genre film.
