The trailer summarizes a horror film about paranormal activity in a house. It intentionally withholds the film title and cast until the end to build intrigue and mystery. Jump scares and diegetic sounds like creaking doors and bangs suggest it is a horror film. There is no voiceover narration so the audience can feel the full scary impact of the sounds from the movie.

300 Trailer Analysis
The trailer for 300 does not reveal the name of the film until the end to build suspense and curiosity. It does not identify the starring actors. It shows a lot of bloody and brutal action scenes. The music indicates it is an action film. There is no voiceover. The editing is faster paced than a film clip to engage viewers' interest. The speed remains consistent. The last frame reveals the release date. The trailer is more effective at generating interest than the poster because it provides more information and context in a visually engaging way. The trailer would be shown before other action films for ages 15+ and on TV late at night.
Lesson 4 sound in tv drama
Diegetic sounds originate from within the scene and can be heard by the characters, while non-diegetic sounds are added in post-production and can only be heard by the audience. Sound is important to drama because it helps viewers understand the plot and suggests what is happening, even without visuals. Different genres of TV drama call for specific types of non-diegetic music, such as hospital dramas using somber music or police dramas employing suspenseful music.
Se7ven ppt
The document discusses how the opening scene of the film Se7en effectively establishes the thriller genre through the use of dramatic music, mysterious blacked out writing, shots from above to create tension and intrigue, and disorientating upside down text to hint at the film's confusion and mystery.
Analysis of 2 trailers of the same genre
The document analyzes and compares two horror/thriller movie trailers, Devil and Paranormal Activity 2. Some key points made in the analysis include:
1) The movie titles are revealed at the end of both trailers to encourage better audience recall.
2) Neither trailer reveals the starring actors to avoid influencing the audience's interest based on names alone.
3) Both trailers show haunting/unexplained events to set the horror tone through visuals and music/sound effects.
4) The fast pace and tension-building nature of the trailers is meant to intrigue audiences and make them want to see more in the full movie.
Brief
This document discusses thriller films and trailers. It begins by providing examples of some of the author's favorite thriller films and what makes them appealing, such as good camera shots that increase tension. It then analyzes the trailer for the film "Let the Right One In", noting how the music, camerawork like panning shots, cuts between scenes, and dull atmosphere come together to build suspense and frighten the audience. The document concludes by describing a school assignment where the author's group had to take photos to create their own thriller trailer, titled "Who?", keeping the story simple and mysterious.
7. evaluation
The document provides an evaluation of an FMP project. It discusses research, planning, time management, technical qualities, aural qualities, audience appeal, and peer feedback. For research, the strengths were knowing what to search for, while keeping old and new audio files organized was a challenge. Planning helped with preparing a script, songs, and effects. Time management was good, finishing in 4 hours. Technical qualities drew inspiration from other audio projects. Peer feedback noted that balancing audio levels could improve and disagreeing that pauses were to pause and reflect.

TeamFourStar creates abridged parody videos of anime shows like Dragon Ball Z on YouTube, known for their humorous takes on characters and plots while still following the overall story. Their voice acting and use of sound effects has improved over time. Other creators profiled make "what if" scenario videos that alter anime storylines or produce fantasy audio dramas with impressive sound design to immerse listeners in fictional worlds.

Review
This document provides a review of a thriller film trailer called "The Follower" that is targeted towards a 15+
audience. The review discusses how the trailer draws inspiration from films like "The Bourne Identity" and
"Attack the Block" by featuring an unknown protagonist in an urban setting to build intrigue. It also notes that
the young adult characters and locations were chosen to appeal to a teenage audience. The review describes
how the trailer uses conventions like intense music during chase scenes to build anxiety and a lonely echo
effect at the end to emphasize the killer's threatening nature. Some weaknesses discussed are a lack of editing
time and technical issues, but the reviewer overcame these to create a successful thriller trailer
Research into specific features - sound
This document discusses different types of sound that can be used in horror movie trailers. It defines diegetic sound as sounds the characters can hear within the reality of the story. Non-diegetic sounds include soundtracks and scores that accompany the scenes but are not part of the fictional world. Voiceovers are another non-diegetic technique where a narrator speaks over scenes. After researching these sound techniques and composing own horror sounds, the author prefers using non-diegetic music rather than diegetic sounds in trailers to create more suspense.
Textual research 2
The document analyzes the trailer for the horror film "The Pact" and discusses its use of editing techniques, diegetic and non-diegetic sounds, and mise-en-scene. It notes that the trailer uses fast editing to create tension and atmosphere, shows the main characters investigating an abandoned house location through dialogue and shots of the house's dark interior, and features the film's production company logo and director/actors at the beginning.
Film Trailers
The document discusses techniques used in three film trailers that the author found effective and wants to experiment with in their own film trailer making. These techniques include using narration at the beginning to set the tone, incorporating changes in music to develop the storyline and show character development, and using point-of-view shots to convey whose perspective the film will be from. The author also notes how What's Eating Gilbert Grape surprised audiences by telling the story from the brother's perspective rather than the disabled boy's.
Trailers
Trailers are advertisements that promote upcoming feature films. They are shown before movies begin in theaters to create awareness and excitement about the film. Trailers tell a condensed version of the film's story in under 2 and a half minutes using exciting and noteworthy scenes. They follow a three-act structure to set up the premise, drive the story, and end with a climactic montage set to music to inspire audiences to watch the full film. Trailers consist of selected shots from the movie and are not necessarily in the order they appear to build intrigue without revealing spoilers. Most audiences now view trailers online, especially on YouTube, or they are linked from social media sites.
Question 1 evaluation by Raj
The document discusses the opening scene of a thriller film. It analyzes several shots from the scene: 1) A point-of-view shot of the protagonist waking up disoriented from a coma. 2) A mid-shot of the protagonist in low-key lighting walking through the house in shadows to build mystery. 3) A close-up mid-shot of the protagonist walking towards the front door in a quiet, empty house signifying the thriller genre. The scene ends with the protagonist walking through a bright white light, leaving the audience wondering where he is headed and maintaining an element of mystery.
Film trailers
Here is my analysis of some horror film trailers, analysing looking at the aspects of them that I like.
Trailers
A film trailer has three main purposes: to encourage people to watch the film, give an idea of what the film is about, and hold audience attention. There are two main types of trailers: teaser trailers which are short and reveal little about the film to generate interest, and theatrical trailers which provide more details like the release date and main characters. Trailers aim to promote the film as much as allowed while following conventions.
Mapping
The document discusses what was learned from analyzing the opening sequences of three movies. Key elements included establishing shots at the beginning, title and release date towards the end, main actor names, and production company. Opening sequences are important advertisements that make the public aware and curious about the film. The sequences analyzed included short clips from the original movie. The editing style was similar across the three thriller films in terms of lighting and music. There is importance to the order of elements in an opening sequence, as the three analyzed all followed the same structure from beginning to end.
Night Of The Living Dead Opening Film
Released in 1968, Night of the Living Dead begins with a young couple driving through a countryside road that leads to a graveyard, setting an ominous tone. The camerawork and effects were basic but helped establish a scary atmosphere through unsteady shots and invisible editing. Background music grew louder as the characters approached the cemetery, using sound to build tension and hint at the horror genre. The white titles provided little information about the film's content. The opening sequence effectively set the scene and mood through its use of location, camera techniques, and sound design.
Saw openings
The document discusses techniques used in the openings of Saw films to build tension and establish atmosphere. These techniques include:
1) Using a light that appears to make the audience wonder about the dark room's purpose and build tension.
2) Close-ups of actors' fearful facial expressions to generate questions and curiosity without revealing the context.
3) Shots of dull, dirty rooms where actors are tied up to create a frightening sense of the characters being in danger and trapped.
4) Point-of-view shots to make the audience feel like they are in the actor's shoes and increase sympathy and fear.
Review of Die Hard 4.0
Die Hard 4.0 is reviewed. The opening sequence is analyzed shot-by-shot. It sets the mysterious tone with low lighting and music. A man is shown alone in an office, implying suspicious activity. Text on a computer screen adds more suspense. A woman says cryptic lines that establish her as an antagonist and make the audience want to know their plan. The review concludes the opening sequence effectively uses suspense to engage viewers.
Audio pro forma
A man named Matt enters an abandoned house searching for his missing sister. When he enters, the door slams shut behind him, trapping him inside. He hears his sister's voice calling for help from the basement. Upon finding the basement, Matt discovers a horrific scene - a giant heart on the ceiling that turns to reveal a demonic face. The demon explains that it has consumed the souls of people for 40 years, merging their consciousnesses into one being. Matt realizes he must escape and end the demon's terror.
Audio pro forma
The document analyzes three audio productions - the radio drama "The Archers", a haunted house soundscape, and an episode of "Doctor Who" - examining how each uses sound effects and music to set the atmosphere and advance the story. Key details analyzed include the use of background noises, music, and distorted sounds to create different moods and settings across the productions.
Movie trailers analysis
The document discusses and analyzes two movie trailers - one for the comedy film "Life as we know it" and one for the horror sequel "Paranormal Activity 2". Key points made about the trailers include: showing the film title late increases memorability, using stars can attract audiences, music and pacing help set tone, and clips provide more context than posters to entice viewers without giving too much away. Both trailers aim to tease and build intrigue about the films' plots through suspenseful images and minimal text or voiceover.
300 Trailer Analysis
The trailer for 300 does not reveal the name of the film until the end to build suspense and curiosity. It does not identify the starring actors. It shows a lot of bloody and brutal action scenes. The music conveys that it is an action film. There is no voiceover narration. The editing is faster paced than a film clip to engage viewers' interest. The last frame provides the release date.
