Trailer Inspiration

The 'Tormented' and 'Prom Night' trailers inspired us most when coming up with our storyline, we liked these movie trailers, as they seem pretty normal at the start of the trailers but then things start to happen which makes you instantly recognise the genre of the film. They use quick shots from lots of different angles with quick editing, the trailer picks up in pace, with suspense building music to captivate the audience, keep them watching and leave them wanting more.

Prom Night

Prom Night uses
  • a teenage cast,
  • the events happen at a party/prom,
  • they show the characters getting ready,
  • use short clips and quick editing for the horror scenes,
  • suspense building/changing music,
  • has one protagonist and one antagonist,
  • the antagonist is a known villain,
  • tag lines,
  • white flashes in between shots.
All of these techniques etc we have also decided to use in our trailer.
Tormented

Tormented uses
  • teenage main characters,
  • storyline is based on revenge,
  • uses party scenes,
  • quick editing,
  • suspenseful music,
  • character roles,
All of which we have taken inspiration from and will be using in our trailer.
