Change of Brief: Film Trailer

I've finally decided that I will be working on my own, due to the fact that I will be able to use my time effectively while working on my own and the only person that I will have to suit would be me.

However, I'm still in the middle of deciding what genre I'm going to portray within my trailer. Thus, I've chosen to analyse different genre trailers to help me to come to my final decision. Also, the amount of shots used within the trailer is important, because this could increase the pace of the trailer and create tension or either, in order to illustrate as many locations as possible within the trailer.Therefore, I've decided that I will compare as many trailers as possible to give me a rough idea of dissimilar genre trailers and how shots and effects/CGI are used.

Moving on, Paranormal Activity 2 trailer has 17 different shots. This genre has lack of shots for a horror trailer which is very unlikely, ever since usually this genre would have a variety of different and rapid shots to create and build suspence as the shots would be very short and keep flicking.

What's more, this film trailer shows that it's vital to keep the lighting negative, dark or gloomy to create a sort of mood and atmosphere. However, in horror films such as "Wrong Turn" (2003) the lighing is more realistic as at the beginning a group of friends are on their way to camping and they are not suspecting anything. However, the sharp and quick editing within the trailer, creates tension and sets a particular mood and atmosphere, ever since the genre of this film is - horror.
