Type of Horror Trailer
“PRIEST”
The type of trailer we are going to make is a highlights
trailer because this will allow us to show off the best bits from our film to
grab the audience’s attention. This type of trailer is the most common, and its
content can be seen in the trailer below.
Our trailer for Priest will also focus on
collision cutting as this gets across the emotion of what is happening
throughout the film and will also briefly tell the audience what the plot line
of the film is. The trailer will also need some jump scares to grab the
audience’s attention so they remember our film, and come and see it when it
comes to the cinema. An example of a jump scare in a trailer is the woman in
black trailer which has a good jump scare so the audience remember the film.
Just before the jump scare there needs to be a build of
suspense so the jump scare becomes scarier as no-one will be expecting it, and
that is what good horror trailers are remembered for.
A good film that uses this type of trailer is Dawn of the Dead (2004) as this
uses all of the good aspects of a horror trailer that we should try to feature
in ours, such as good collision cutting and good use of body horror.
These generic features clearly help the trailer indicate an
Action Horror film so the audience knows if our genre/sub-genre is the right
film for them to watch.
