5. Sinister
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgYxydrVlDk – This is the trailer for sinister, it starts off with
just family moving house and then builds up, towards the end and has you keep your on eye on
it, this is a good thing for trailers to do as it would make people go and see the film itself.
Within the trailer there are a few jump scares, this is to show that there would be more things
like that in the film, but also because its horror, so they have scary bits within the trailer so
people get a small idea what sort of the things the film has in it. They try and make the trailer
really intense by adding the music over the top, this is to add the tension and also leaves you
on a sort of cliff hanger which also makes you want to watch it due to the suspense the music
causes, with the quick scene changes.
6. Summary
I have noticed with all of the posters, that they all the an occurring theme, they all
keep it dark and they have the main character in the middle or within the poster, or
they involve the murder weapon or they have the main ‘thing’ involved in it. They also
try and match things with the title, such as Shrooms, this is also included in the movie,
but they have used the Shrooms to create a skull on the moon, this is to put forward
that it is a horror. They also try and include the film number within the film name, like
Scream 4 is written like Scre4m as the title, just to add effect. The ring have gone with
a different approach bye using the name in the number, The Ring Two, but the O is a
ring to go with the title.
From this, I will want to keep the dark theme with the main character in the middle,
and to also keep it simple with not a lot on it, this is because I prefer things with not a
lot going on, simple things that also put the meaning across.
