Insidius Film Trailer Analysis

This film trailer was the closest i could find to the one we have in mind. I noticed the use of dark gilimmering type effects. This creates atmosphere and sets the tone of film. Emphasizing the time elapsed there is a timer set off. The establishing shot creates an initial view of the setting which is a house. Again similarly to the trailer i will be creating. Throughout the trailer there is a mix of low and high angle shots. The viewer is teased throughout with different narratives which leads to a typical horror cliche and steretypes. The mad scientist and medical equipment on. The paranormal activity of movements for example the horse rocking by itself all links to existing horror movies with their own twists.

Modern Day Trailer Review - Four Lions

Four lions is a low budget british film based on 4 guys who train to become terrorists.  This was released in 2010 which gives us a modern day point of trailers and how they evolved.

It opens out with an ameteurish shot which sets the idea of the film. This develops further in the next few shots when we realise they arnt good at what they do. The shot of him firing an rpg soon backfires. Leading to relating humerous quotes that feature in the film. We see text near the end from a review in short form. This gives the viewer a judgement which they usually take the word for.
