Which positive, clever or interesting aspects do you think you could include in your own trailer? What generic features are fulfilled well?
There is collision cutting throughout including slow to quick, with flashes of action and sound fx to accompany them. The music fits the trailer well and adds to the dramatic narrative. The intertitles are also nice and short to fill in the story line but are effective through the quick flashes. The trailer contains genuinely horrific shots, for example the female cutting her tongue and Mias’ eyes when she is possessed.
Which aspects of the trailer did you think were unsuccessful and would put off its target audience? How is it disappointing?
The trailer is very long (2 minutes and a half) and therefore reveals a lot of the plot, which may cause a lack of surprise within the film and ruin the ‘want’ to watch the film. The use of less body horror could improve the trailer as it would intrigue the audience more and leave more new scenes for the actual film.
What was the average score in class? Why did it receive that mark?
The average score was 8.6 because it used intertitles and music very effectively and it suited the trailer and plot. It was also given this mark as it used plenty of collision cutting keep the audience interested.
