The reasons I have looked at these 6 texts in particular are because they all have the same sort of zombie/monster theme I aim to create a trailer for. I’ve looked through these six films to get ideas for: costumes, characters, settings, music and the main monster character that I want to be a cross between the monster from "Frankenstein" and a zombie from the film 28 weeks later. (when bitten by the zombie the person becomes infected)
"The Grudge 2" trailer. Something i found useful from this trailer was how editing is used to make the trailer seem more tense and horrifying. During moments of suspense in the trailer flashes of white and black are used to help build up the tense. The flashes are mainly used in the trailer when the Grudge is on screen. This could have been done to make the audience feel uneasy when the Grudge is on screen and make the feel as they would if they saw the actual film.
I hope that I can take ideas from both of these trailers such as: The element of mystery created by the "Don’t be afraid of the dark" trailer and also the uneasy feeling that is created by "The Grudge 2" trailer.
The third trailer i viewed in research for my media trailer was The Women In Black (For some reason when ever the trailer is included onto this post it crases the editing process so i feel it is best not to include it) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lReemWmO5o
Something i liked alot about this trailer was the score used in the background of the trailer. Although the music is very calming and relaxed it brings with it a scary element that emphasises the tension that is built up in the trailer in relation to the clips that can be seen on screen. The pase of the trailr also interested me. The trailer starts off slow and then quickens towards the end showing very brief parts of the film in a montage style. This alows the audeince to get an idea what the film is about in the beginning without giving to much of the middle of the ending of the film away.
