Paranormal Activity 3 Trailer

This is the film trailer for the movie Paranormal Activity 3. the main reason why this has inspired me is because it is made like a documentary. This was one of my ideas that i was going to do for my trailer but i have been lead in a different direction because i don't believe that i have the skills to make it look effective and professional without making it look like I'm just messing about and being cheesy. The think i like most about the trailer is the characters and what they wear. In the trailer they dress casual this is because the film is based on just normal people living in a house and they are haunted. I like the idea of casual clothing because my film is just a group of people going on a trip so they are all going to be wearing just casual clothes.

Final Destination Trailer inspiration

This is the trailer for Final Destination. The main reason whay i have chosen this for inspiration is because final destination is such a successful film because of the deaths of the cast. And the trailer is really good for me because they make the trailer so eye catching and interesting without actually show any of the deaths just the build ups. I like this idea because I do not want to show any of my cast getting killed just the build ups this way it keeps my trailer interseting but doesnt give to much of the film away. Same as the all the other trailers I like how the camera is never in one place for too long this is good because the viewer always sees something different and doesnt get bored of the trailer. Iam thinking of doing that idea to make my trailer more eye catching and professional.

Shrooms trailer inspiration

This is the film trailer for the horror film Shrooms. The reason why I am using this trailer for inspiration is because it is about a group of friends that go on a camping trip and then everything starts to go wrong. This is basically the plot of my horror but with a bit of a twist. One other thing I like about the trailer is at the start of the trailer hey are on the way to the site which is good because that is one of the ideas that I had because it gets the viewer fully clear on what is happening and where they are going. Another thing that I like about this trailer is that you do not see the killer and you dont see anyone getting kileed. I like this idea because I think that if you see the killer or someone getting killed it can sometimes give away the film. But it still keeps the viewers interested. The final thing that i like about this trailer is the fast vmovement of the camera. The camera is never in one place for too long. I like this idea becxause it keeps the viewer on egde on keeps them interested. All of these things are something that I would love to take ideas from to include in my trailer.

The Ruins Movie Trailer inspiration

This is the film trailer for the film titled "The Ruins" (2007). The reason this trailer inspires me is because it is about a group of teenage friends that go on a holiday trip and die one by one which is very similar to the plot of my film so it would be a good choice for my film trailer.
I love the idea with the camera in the distance and the shot with the car speeding past, I have had this idea for a film trailer for awhile and this now gives me a better idea of how to do it. I also like how the camera is never focused in one place but always moving to keep the film trailer exciting.
One of the main ideas that I am thinking about trying to use in my film trailer is that you never see the cast getting killed but you do see them getting attacked which excites the viewer but doesn't spoil the film by giving the killer.

Target Audience

In this post I am going to be talking about my target audience.
The target audience for my film is teens and adults I think thgat my will I more likely to be viewed by males because it is a horror and the female audience usually tend to be into films with genres such as romance and comedy.
 These are some pictures of possible target audiences.

Poster inspiration

One reason why this has such a good inspiration on me is because i like the idea of having the killer on the front but not being able to see his face as i don't want to give it away. I also like the idea of having the weapon that the killer uses in my case it would be an axed this is because it is like a trademark like if you saw a hook you would no it is " i no what you did last summer" or a claw glove you would know it was Freddy Krueger.

I think this one inspires me the most because of the location of the woods because that is the sort of thing that i would want on my poster i also like the idea of the killer holding the weapon although one of my ideas is not being able to see the killer as i want to keep it a surprise. the last main feature that i like about this poster is the dark lighting i like this idea because you instantly no it is for a horror and i think i will be following this idea because it will make it look more professional and horror like.

I like this poster because they have the image of just the killers weapon which i think is a really good idea because i want to make sure that in my film trailer that the weapon is really emphasised because i want people to recognise my film just by seeing the weapon. if i was to put my weapon on the front cover i think i would make one half of the axe all blooded up and the other half really shiny and in the reflection you can see just a little bit of the killer maybe an eye or something like that.

the reason i like this one so much because if i think that it is not a good idea to put the killer on the front cover i would have the main character as a close up scared to show that it is a horror film and maybe in the eye of the character be able to see the killers weapon.

Magazine inspiration

The first magazine cover is an Empire magazine of Ironman 2 the main reason why i like this magazine so much is because of the way that they have contrasted the image with the title by using the same colour blue as the title as they have used on ironmans body. I really like this idea and am thinking of doing something along the same lines. I also like the idea of having a film reel going through the bottom of the page showing other films that have been released.

The reason why i like this magazine cover so much is because i like the idea of having a close up of the main character, so that the viewer instantly knows what it is i also like the idea of a close up because i think it links with the idea of a horror because i think it adds more tension because you can really see the emotions on Daniels face.

The reason why i like this one so much of captain America is because of how they have linked the background with the film. If there was no images or text on this cover you would still be able to tell what the magazine is advertising. i also like the idea of a medium long shot because if it was just the persons face it doesn't really represent the film that much but with the medium long shot you get to see all of the ammo and equipment which brings it all together. 

The main reason I like this magazine cover so much is because they have had more than one character on the front cover which is one of the ideas that i wish to use. Another reason why i like this cover is because of the film reel at the bottom like i said about another magazine i like this idea to fill the bottom of the page.

Plot

The plot of my trailer is a group of teenage friends Samantha Swift (Emma Bailey), Chris Young (Jonathan Moores), Stacey Wilson (Katie McDonald) and Jason Dunn (Ryan Bedson) go on a camping trip that another friend suggested to them. When they arrive they come across a big rusty gate with a sign that reads "No Entry", however they continue to ignore this sign and proceed as normal. Through out the day everything is going to plan and everyone is having a good time until night falls and the gang here a mysterious noise from and old garage and the end of the field Stacey Wilson goes to investigate and surely enough finds something that she as not looking for. At this point she drops the torch and it falls so the light is pointing at the wall, then the camera points to the light on the wall and you see Stacey being dragged away by the killer whist screaming for her life. Then her friends come to her aid only to find he sticking out of a tractor window all blooded up and a mess. Then the trailer ends with the killer brushing past the camera really fast without his face being seen.

Inspiration

•The main reason why I chose to do my film trailer as a horror and based on a camping trip was from the movie shrooms. Shrooms is about a group of teenagers that went to a place to camp to get away for the weekend and during the journey one of the friends took some mushrooms and then she began to see premonitions on how her friends were going to die and that is how it happens in real life.
