Our company is called Paranormal Pictures and we are associated with Universal Pictures. We created a poster in Photoshop using elements from a camera picture and font from dafont.com. The blood was edited onto the poster to represent horror iconography. Our trailer targets audiences 15 and older with strong violence and horror themes like blood and knives. The trailer genre is psychological horror, inspired by films like Paranormal Activity and Drag Me To Hell. The poster was inspired by The Box movie poster layout. The aim of the trailer was to create suspense and questions in the audience and make them feel fear for characters to entice viewing the full movie.

2. The name of our company is called ‘Paranormal Pictures’. We
are in association with universal pictures.
We made this product on Photoshop that was done by our
group member, we got the font from dafont which we copied
and pasted, we got a picture of a camera and using the magic
wand tool we were able to select parts of the camera and
change the colour from black to grey. The blood was then
edited on to represent. the normal iconography of horror.
However we did not use this on our trailer because it did not fit
in but it is shown on the poster.

3. Target audience
Our aim was to attract the attention of aged 15
and over. The reason for the age rating was
that our trailer consists of strong violence and
iconography relating to horror ( blood, knife,
possession).

4. Genre
The sub-genre for our trailer was psychological
horror. We were inspired by ‘Paranormal
Activity’ and ‘Drag Me To Hell’ which we had
watched analysed prior to creating our final
products.

5. Our poster was
inspired by ‘The
Box’ movie
poster. We used
this to help us
with our layout.

6. What we were trying to achieve?
The aim of our trailer was to create adrenaline, suspense and enigma – this
would make the audience question the reason behind everything that has
occurred.
We wanted the audience to feel fear for the character when watching the trailer
itself. Also we wanted them to go and watch the movie.
