Starts with disruption, this clearly shows the audience what genre this film will be
Narrative carries on to explain the lives on the main characters and their story
Bit of background information is given
states it's based on a true story (gets the audience thinking that this could really happen)
Soundtrack begins to link the montage of images together
Music fades away and the sound of the clock which is shown on screen is highlighted to build up tension for the audience for the jump scare
loud sound effects are used to emphasis this jump
fast pace montage of disruption happening around the house builds up tension for the audience
voice over of main character is used to to explain narrative to viewers
all sound stops before loud sounds are brought back suddenly to create a scare
trailer ends by the name of the movie being shown on film suggesting the trailer is over but then a clip is shown at the end with no soundtrack to create tension, the biggest jump scare is left for here to leave the audience thinking this will be what the whole film is like and so it will stay in their memory.
Starts in the dark of night when things seem ok
but quickly things turn badly
background jumpy music is played to build tension and there's a fast pace montage of disruption to help with this
gentle music is played as the characters are shown after the disruption to be alright and these scenes are used to help establish the characters/narrative more
things go quiet to build tension
Record player starts playing music on its own to show the haunting on this family, this music is used as the soundtrack to build tension as it seems very repetitive and creepy
montages between dolls face and character being prayed on to show that this object is the one causing the happenings
slow high pitched noise played to build tension and cuts out to increase this before jumps scares
ends on the biggest scare throughout the trailer
then titles are shown
starts with establishing scenes to explain narrative
montage of shots against voice over explaining it all
creepy music played when strange happenings are being talked about
most scenes in dark
a lot of scenes just explaining narratives with no jump scares until the end, not many actual creatures shown just the mysterious happenings which is scarier for the viewers due to the fear of the unknown
high pitched creepy music builds tension, no actual songs played just sound effects which is unsettling for the audience as there are no sounds they recognize
ends on high pitched girl screaming when the titles are being played showing how the film is likely to end/how the narrative will unfold
Throughout this research i have learnt an understanding of conventions within theses 3 horror trailers that work the best and would be best to use in our trailer to attract the largest audience possible. I now realize what points are most important to create a trailer which is likely to give the most jump scares to the audience, these are widely used in these trailers which shows how they are effective into enticing an audience into watching the film. Points that i am going to try to interpret into our trailers are things such as much of the film being in the dark of nighttime to create the fear of the unknown, soundtracks which will create tension and cause the audience to feel uneasy and the effect of speeding up the pace of the shot changes to create fast pace montages to also build up tension.
