What happened in the
trailer?
In the trailer a group of young adults who all seem to be in
their twenties have come to a cabin in the woods for a break to get drunk and
have a good time but one of them finds a book and starts to read it in the
trailer we see the guy reading the book and we can see it says “Leave this book
alone” written in blood. This is where it all starts as it has awakened demons
from the surrounding woods. One of the young girls in the group (Mia) becomes
possessed by the demons and she tries to kill the rest of the group. They try
to survive and escape but the nearby roads are flooded. The trailer is full of
gore and keeps the audience starring at the screen.
Which positive,
clever or interesting aspects do you think you could include in your own
trailer? What generic features are fulfilled well?
·
A lot of gore
·
Music worked well
·
Establishes plot
·
Collision cutting slow to quick & quick
flashes of action with sound of fx to accompany them.
·
Genuinely horrific bits – tongue cut/eyes on the
girl.
·
Music fits the writing very dramatically.
·
Inter titles tell us the story while still being
dramatic.
Which aspects of the
trailer did you think were unsuccessful, and would put off its target audience?
How is it disappointing?
·
Might have shown all the best bits
·
I would have ended the trailer with the scene
which the girl is under the floorboard singing “We’re gonna get you”.
·
Ruins plot a little as It gives to much away and
it is a very long trailer (2.20)
·
Overly unrealistic puke.
What was the
trailer’s average score? Why did it receive that mark?
8.6 – The highest average rating of the films that we
reviewed in class, this is because there was plenty of collision cutting, a
great use of music and it was genuinely scary. Although there may have been a
bit too much gore in the trailer.
