Initial Research - Horror Trailers

For my A2 media project, i shall be doing a teaser trailer. I'll be looking at all kinds of genre's to get a good feel of which genre would be best suited for me.

These are three horror trailers that i shall be analysing.

Nightmare On Elm Street (2010):


This trailer (as it is a remake) holds a lot of resemblance to it's original that was made in 1984, it has similar shots, similar locations, but still holding michael bay's own original style to it. This becomes the style of many horror remakes. By doing this, it tries to re-assure original fans by making sure that the film (unlike so many previous remakes) is going to be good.


Friday The 13th (2009)




The film, being reboot of the series, this tries an intirely different approach, it shows as little relationship to the original as possible, until near the end of the teaser. It gives little information and shows abit more about original to keep the audience guessing until finally unvieling it.

The Children (2008)


This teaser gives off absolutly no information about the plot whatsoever, There's a few establishing shots, and insert shots. This could make people even more intriqued into seeing this. Along with the rave reviews it got from british critics, the teaser kept the audience guessing into what it's actually about
