Trailer Research

Whilst planning my trailer I wanted to find others of the same genre to give ideas of how to present it and which type of music would suit the atmosphere for it. 
I started by looking at the trailer of the film 'Psycho'. I thought that this trailer was very well made because there was a lot of tension created by the sound of the music. The short, high pitched sounds made it chilling making the film seem twice as scary. This is the link to the trailer. http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi327287065/

I think that along with the trailer, the poster is also creates suspense. This makes the audience want know what will happen and what exactly the tag line means. The use of Red in the poster also lets us know that its a horror, as it symbolises blood. 


Another trailer that I looked into was 'Wrong Turn'. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naUUyD-_oPc I looked at this mainly because it has a similar setting to our ideas and thought that this would be a good link. The forest sets the scene for this trailer as the characters become trapped within the woods, trying to escape from the villains. The music in this trailer is similar to the music in 'Psycho'. The high pitch creates tension for the film, drawing the audience in to the terror.

The short and snappy images that occur in all of these trailers make the pace of the film fast. Showing that there is a lot of danger and lots of people running away from the killer. 
All of these trailers I have looked at have some sort of stalker theme in them which is very relevant to our film as this is what we have based ours on. So researching these films has really helped with our ideas.
