3. Shots
The trailer seemed much more authentic
due to this appearing before the trailer
began. I really liked the
lighting at this point
of the trailer and
throughout, it added
to the creepy and
eerie atmosphere.
The font here fits nicely with the rest of the
trailer. It increases it authenticity as a
horror trailer as many horror trailers have
shots that only contain writing to help
explain what it happening.
4. Shots
The angle used here is quite interesting, its
not just straight on, its as if something is
watching her climb into the attic.
I really like the lighting in this shot, once
again it adds to the creepy atmosphere that
a horror trailer needs. The way the light
shines looks really good.
I like this part of the trailer,
it begins quite dark and as
she comes around the
corner, the attic brightens
up a bit more.
5. Shots
I like the recurring theme of the font
throughout the trailer, the colour stands out
as the rest of the trailer is quite dark.
I like the angle of this shot as it looks quite
interesting. Rather than showing her whole
body, it focuses on her walking towards the
camera and the saw she is dragging.
I like the end scene that shows them
walking off together, it shows that there is a
happy ending and the credits rolling over is
also quite simplistic like the title, which
works nicely.
6. Evaluation
Actors – The choice of actors in this horror trailer we very good, the main actress
protrayed the eerie feel of the trailer very well.
Locations – The locations used within this trailer were very traditional of horror
trailer, for example the loft/attic. This fit really well with the trailer and like the
actors, addded to the eerie storyline.
Sound – The whispering voices at the beginning of the trailer stood out the most to
me as it was a combination of different voices and it sounded interesting and made
me want to carry on watching to find out what the dates meant.
Edit - I really liked the editing within this short film, it transitioned very well
between the shots of charlotte and the title and the words etc. The end of he trailer
where it sped up added more suspense as it flashed quickly between shots.
