Choice of Trailer Type

For part of my planning I looked at two different types of trailers, both fitting into the horror genre. The first type of trailer I looked at was called a "highlight" trailer which takes the best bits of the film to establish narrative/genre. 90% of trailers are highlighted trailers. An example trailer I looked at was Evil Dead (2013).

The second type of trailer I studied for the planning stages is called a "scene" trailer. A scene trailer is made up of a suspenseful and shocking scene from the film. These trailers are used 10% of the time to advertise a film. An example trailer I looked at was Cloverfield (2008).

Practice First Year Trailer

For my first year practice trailer we shot a remake of "dont be afraid of the dark". For this trailer i helped film our footage, using a HD video camera. The aim for this practice trailer was to ka eus fell comfortable for when we create our own trailer in our second year.
