To get ideas for our trailer we looked at a few other trailers with a similar genre to ours. We analysed them and got ideas such as camera angles, music, pace of the trailer, location and shot order. The trailer which inspired us most was Severance.
This was because it had a similar plot as our idea and the trailer gave us lots of ideas for different camera angles we could use to get the best effect. For example there is a close up shot of someones leg being trapped in a bear trap. We decided that shots like this would be good to show some of the scary/jumpy shots in our trailer as it focuses on what is happening to make sure that the audience are aware of it and react to it. Severance also includes lots of fast pace shots which make the trailer more dramatic and shows the audience lots of short, snappy shots without giving too much away. We have also decided to set our trailer at a fast, dramatic pace with lots of short clips to hopefully create a similar effect as Severance. Location was another aspect which we had to consider. Severance is set mainly in a forest, we decided ours would be too as the forest provides a mysterious place which gives the audience a sense of being lost.
Some other trailers we looked at included Hills have eyes, Blair witch project, paranormal activity and piranha 3D.
