The Unborn

I chose this trailer becuase its quite strange and leaves people wondering, this trailer starts like a normal day to day life of a woman babysitting, but then starts to get stranger when she goes upstairs and the child says 'he wants to be born now'. This shows people that the film may have a twist but doesnt give to much away. A soft sound of a piano is playing in the background as the trailer carries on. The music stop when she plays a film and just the sound of the trailer is being played is heard, diagetic sound is used like people talking and screaming. Another sound is playing like drumbeat and its quite fast this could represent a heart beating, this gets lounder and fast as the trailer continues.

Paranormal Activity

I chose this trailer because it is quite different from other horror films as it is filmed with a hand held camera and it is made to look like a home video as it doesnt have a soundtrack, the trailer used diagetic sounds like the door creaking, people talking and screaming. This would grab the attention if the audience as it is different from other films, and creates suspence and keeps people on the edge of their seats. I believe trailers like this attract more people due to the lengh of it, because if its short quick and snappy and gets to the point more people want to see and but if it goes on for a while it may start to get boring becuase too much information is being given away and it takes the suspence and edge away from the film.

Decision

After researching different films, I decided that I am going to create a movie trailer with the genre of a horror/thriller. I think that it is easier to grab the audiences attention with this genre because they always want to find out more. My research will be in this area of genre, therefore the different film trailers I watch, I will post and show you what I think and my ideas of the trailers. I will look at the feelings the trailer creates also the soundtrack that is used, but also if there may be an over voice used, I will comment on how this may add to the suspence of the trailer.
