The Human Centipede Trailer

I chose this trailer because it's not a typical horror film. The trailer starts of in a hotel with two calls talking, this isn't a usual opening to a horror film, due to the bright colour and the tone of their voices. The next clip is of them driving in the dark and the tyre goes flat this is beginning to look more like a horror film. Deep music is used in the background to make it seem more frightening and anxious. A closer of the mans face in the window makes it seem like hes not quite the man they think he is, and that he has a dark side to him. A deep beat is used in between clips maybe to represent a heart beat. As the man switches the light on a mans face shoots towards the screen and the diagetic sound of screaming in heard. The beats then begin to get faster and louder as the clip continues.

Paranormal Activity Magazine Cover

The magazine cover portrays a different idea than the DVD cover because the DVD cover shows a clip from the film but this makes the films look more like a comedy than a horror. The image is of a man cuddling up to the woman to comfort, this is quite typical, showing the man all brave and 'macho' and showing the woman afraid. The image also show him holding her hand, this shows that shes maybe in pain or scared and hes there to comfort and protect her.
The pink stars around the poster make it more feminine, which isn't the colour scheme of a horror film cover. The other colours are also quite feminine and romantic. The title is in bold which makes it stand out more than the rest of the writing on the page, also the thin red bold outline around the title draws peoples attention because its eye catching.

The Unborn Magazine Cover

The Unborn magazine cover is the same as the DVD cover, this makes it easy to identify and has a link to the film. The tag line in this poster is 'evil will do anything to live' this gives a hint of what the film is about but not revealing to much about the film.The colours are the same as the DVD cover but without the blood splatters which makes it less like a horror film and what it involves. The colours are also quite dark and gloomy, which gives off the message that its a horror or quite a dark scary film. The image of the woman is a long shot showing her back but her reflection in the mirror which shows she may have a split personality also it is showing her expression, when she See's a little boy in the mirror too. The image of the little boy is quite scary because he is not actually there with the woman which signals that he is a ghost or a figure of her imagination. He also doesn't look like a normal average boy, because he has pale white skin and big black eyes, which again gives the message of a ghost.

Paranormal Activity DVD Cover

The Paranormal activity DVD covers has slogans that makes people want to watch it. 'WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU SLEEP?' This makes is quite mysterious, and you want to know what could happen when your asleep. Another slogan is 'One of the SCARIEST AT-HOME VIEWING EXPERIENCES ever'. The use of capitals makes it stand out and its kind of in your face as if someone is shouting it. The use of the image with the time in the corner, gives a look of a home made movie. The title is in capitals to make it stand, but also in red which could symbolise blood, death or murder. The shadow on the door makes it mysterious because there is no one there to cast it.

The Unborn DVD cover

The DVD cover shows a glimpse of what the film is like due to the little boys reflection in the mirror but he's not acturally in the flesh which shows that he is unborn. The reflection of the woman only shows half her face which could mean that she has a split personality. The banner across the top makes people want to buy the DVD because its an unseen edition.
The colours used a dark cold colours also red is used to sybolise blood for example the blood splatter on the wall makes it seem more like a horror film. The age certificate is only 15 which suggests it isnt as scary as it could be, beacuse its suitable for 15 year olds.
