The document summarizes and analyzes four horror movie trailers: Resident Evil: Retribution, Wolf Creek, Inside, and Fertile Ground. For Resident Evil, the author likes how it uses its best scenes without revealing too much of the story or characters. For Wolf Creek, they prefer its lighting and effects compared to Resident Evil and like its use of quotes between cuts. Inside is praised for its sound effects and editing but criticized for its lack of narrative. Fertile Ground is identified as the best for showcasing storyline, characters, and producers, and will be used as the most inspiration for the author's own horror trailer.

1. -Resident Evil: Retribution.
-Wolf Creek.
-Inside.
-Fertile Ground.

2. • The first trailer that caught my attention
was Resident evil: Retribution
Action. Horror. Sci-fi.
• http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1855325/
• The trailer appears to be a theatrical one in aspects of time
but not the style of the clips and editing.
Trailer information:
2 minutes 32 seconds in length.
Short shots.
References made to the producing company and quotes
made between cuts.
Less narrative used.

3. I particularly like this trailers as it
uses its best scenes without telling
the story or giving too much
information on the character. It
allows you to be familiar with the
roles of the characters but not
there storyline or motive. In my
opinion the best bit of the trailer is
at the beginning with the
element of surprise when the
zombie enters into what was a
normal situation putting the
audience into suspense. I would
like to incorporate this into my
own trailer on the basis of thrill
and surprise. Not much character
information is given to the
audience and it is unclear what the
storyline is or if there is any
conclusion. I personally do not like
this type of trailer as it doesn't grip
my attention.

4. • http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0416315/
Horror. Thriller.
• Wolf creek appears to be a more of a teaser trailer
due to the following.
1 minute 49 seconds in length.
Short clips and flashing images.
Only the bests scenes shown with quotes used to
interchange each cut.
No character information given.
No reference to producers or any other company's.

5. This film is very different from resident evil,
this is due to the lighting and effects. In
addition to this I prefer the lighting and effects
with this film compared to resident evil,
however in wolf creek I do not like the concept
of the film. A convention that seems consistent
between the two trailers is the use of quotes
and narratives between cuts. This is something
I would like to incorporate within my horror
trailer which would be following the standard
conventions expected within horror films. I
particularly like the poster for wolf creek, in
the regards of the pictures. The use of 3 faces
to make up on image is something that really
appeals to me as it showcases different
characters within one picture. I also helps to
show the different emotions expressed in the
film. This poster therefore is a good reflection
of the trailer. I do not think the quality of this
trailer is high as it doesn't flow through each
clip and only focuses on one part (the middle)
no character information is given. However the
general idea of the film is evident.

6. • http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0856288/
• Horror. Thriller
Inside appears to be a teaser trailer.
Inside lasts 32 seconds in length.
Lots of cuts and scenes.
No storyline given or information on characters.
No speech used or quotes.

7. This trailer has no narrative or speech
within the clips, I personally think this
makes the trailer less interesting. However
I have chosen this trailer for inspiration, as
the sound effects and editing are effective
in making it look and sound more like a
horror. In my opinion the colour effects
used are appropriate for the genre and the
loud noises are important for the shock
factor. I would like to incorporate the
sound effects with my trailer and I
particularly like the animal sound at the
end of the trailer. I would also like to take
inspiration from the editing cuts between
scenes in the aspect of editing and effects.
In contrast to this I dislike this trailers for
its lack of speech and narrative, this is
something I will learn from and use speech
in my trailer as it helps to target an
audience. However this could also be
positive as if I don't use speech it could
target a wider range of people. There
doesn't seem to be any plot to this film and
minimal characters are shown. Therefore i
would like to include all of my main
characters within my trailer to inform the
audience better.

8.  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1515199/
 Horror.
 Theatrical trailer
2 minutes and 16 seconds in length.
Aims to sell the release date and producers.
Storyline evident and main character
information shown.

9. This trailer in my opinion is the best
for showcasing the storyline,
characters and producers. It includes
horror sound effects and appropriate
editing. The storyline of the trailer is
like the horror trailer I would like to
create. In the aspects of a romantic
horror. I like the factor of using a
couple that eventually turn against
each other because of evil and
paranormal happenings. I will take
most inspiration from this trailer in
the aspects of quotes characters,
editing and the storyline. However
the poster doesn't reflect the content
in the trailer and this is something i
would like to work together to reflect
the story and target the appropriate
audience.

10. The End.
