Within this trailer, there are many different effects and points that we would like to be able to use in our trailer.
· Cutting to different scenes
· Close ups
· Cross cutting
· Fast movements
· Fast flashing to different images
· Overhead shots
· Wide shots
· Fading in of images and words
· Camera moving a dolly backwards as girl comes towards
· Lights flashing on and off
· Slow movements as the scene gets intense
· Towards the end, it gets faster as it flashes through the images
· Ends with the title fading in dramatically
We used this trailer as an inspiration to our trailer using certain images and effects.
Within this teaser trailer, genetic iconography was found such as there being the typical victim in horror films and the ‘psychopath’. In many horror films, there always seems to be someone to the rescue, which was featured in this trailer and many people murdered. Colours were used in the trailer to signify something bad such as the colours red and black. Locations were eerie and the music had a typical scary feel to it to create atmosphere and suspense. This trailer has used genetic iconography to make it a typical horror film.

Within this trailer we picked up effects from it that would be helpful and useful in our teaser trailer. It is similar in that effect.
· Close ups
· Wide shots
· Over shoulder shots
· Distortion
· Fast camera movements
· Cross cutting
· Fast cross cutting
· Flashing from different scenes
· Screams
· Slows down when getting to the title, when its being released and the website
· Flashes in the credits
· Scary images
This helps us with the credits as well as effects which is useful when creating our teaser trailer.
This trailer consists of the typical iconography outcome using the characters as victims, protagonists, and the main villain. There are many films like this one, being supernatural and using terrifying images and lettering to scare its audiences. The colours featured in this trailer are dark and with a chilling blue which puts you on edge. Many supernatural films use colours such as blacks and electric blues to create the supernatural feel. The typical sound tracking to this trailer is like any other, frightening, chilling and tension building.

· Fading in
· Flash backs
· Quick flashes
· Black and White flashbacks
· Newspaper reports
· TV News reports
· Fast flashes telling you the background of the film very briefly in news papers
· Hints
· Quotations
· Slogans
· Haunted house being advertised in the paper within a couple of seconds of the trailer
· Present day (date) home video of family moving in the house
· Held camera effect
· Flash of the house present day
· Quick flash of house in a ‘negative’ effect
· Short facts of the film in words fading in
· Quick cross cutting/ Flashes
· Close ups
· Overhead shots
· Wide shots
· Cutting fast from scene to scene
· Sound effects – rain, thunder, screams etc
· Flashes of scary images (fast)
· All fast until it reaches the title
· Slows down and title fades in with the haunted house in the background
· Background goes black as the title ‘coming soon’ fades in
In this particular trailer, again it has the typical victims and the psychotic protagonist but in this case, the protagonist being possessed. It is again a supernatural film with a supernatural feel to it containing dark colours, eerie locations and terrifying screams. Many horror films have eerie locations and a person screaming as it all adds to the suspense and the tension building of the film.
In looking at the trailers more, we have learnt new ways of making our film better by looking at our characters a bit more, the colours used, and our locations and how they would fit with the genetic iconography
In the trailers that I have watched and analysed, I have noticed that as the trailer goes on, it speeds up, but slows down when revealing the title of the film. This will be helpful when we come to do our teaser trailer.
