Prior to beginning this project, I was aware of the genre I would choose-Horror. I chose this as Horror films are one of my favourite genres of film, and I believed it would be something I would find of interest to film and plan.
After analysing a series of trailers nominated for the golden trailer awards, I clarified that Mama was the best featured trailer. The use of jump cuts were used to an excellent standard and really built up tension and truly captivated the 'horror' feel. I felt aware of the story however not too much was given away, unlike trailers like sinister which I felt quite unaware of what the film was about. The use of the echoing 'mama' at the end gave a really creepy and eerie feel. The use of title frames were used very well especially the title frame "A mothers love never dies." This to me was extremely powerful and was one of the most memorable parts of the trailer, which is unusual for a title frame. The music was also used well as it gave a truly eerie atmosphere.
After watching this trailer and many others, I decided to use some of the qualities that are featured in these trailers in my own trailer. This being shots like; In Sinister how it reads '6 years later' This is something myself and my group decided we may use. Also, in Sinister where you can see the devils face behind the man at the table, I believe this truly terrified the audience. In Sinister, we are met by an establishing shot of the house, this is something I would like to consider when creating my project. Finally, in Mama, the echoing sound effects really bring out the eerie feel of the trailer, this is something I will also consider when creating my trailer.
