We created a poster which illustrated certain shots we want to use based on our research, key themes we want to include and plot ideas we would like to implement.
From our research we would like to use the stereotypical antagonist; a young, dead girl whom has previously lived at the house which now haunts the house and terrorises the new house owners. Children's toys such as the rocking horse specialise the horror genre into our sub genre; psychological horror, as it adds the theme that children make horror's more creepy.
Camera
Our in-depth research has showed us how camera sequences are specific to the section of trailer being covered. Near the beginning of the trailer wide, establishing shots are used to familiarise the audience with the environment, during the middle as the horror begins, medium long shots are used to make the audience identify with the protagonist however still be dubious of their surroundings, incase something is lurking. To build suspense, the end of the trailer is full of fast, close up shots.
Editing
We want to use sharp cuts that will reflect the pace and intensity of key aspects in the trailer.
Sound
Sound is probably the most fundamental component of a horror trailer, as seen by the results of our qualitative research. It sets the mood and can highlight important parts, such as amplifying sound during symbolism. Sound effects are crucial to maintain the horror ambiance.
