The first video we looked at was 'Sorority Row'. We looked at this trailer because it featured young people, which we would be using in our trailer and it was of the same genre; horror/thriller.
The trailer first began with the young people having fun and enjoying themselves, which lead to them choosing to play a game which went wrong.
The trailer first starts with equilbrium, then a problem arises, which all the characters are involved, it creates tension and excitment leaving the audience wanting to find out more.
The second trailer we looked at was 'When a stranger calls'. We looked at this trailer because it involved the use of mobile phones, of which we were planning to do for our trailer. The trailer also featured the caller using a unknown number. This was a good idea which did not identify who the attacker is.
This trailer began immediately with the danger and this was potrayed through the choice of music used for the opening.
This trailer had quick cuts to continue to keep the audience interested and wanting to find out more as it left them hanging.
Another trailer that we looked at was 'Prom Night'. We looked at this trailer because it also involved the use of young people and it had the same genre; thriller.
This trailer also began with the equilbruim and then a problem happening.
The use of music created the tension and left the audience wanting more. It also had quick cut which matched with the genre.
All the trailers used Goodwin's theory of the relationship between the music and the visuals. We also planned to use this as it seemed to work well in the trailers and help the audience understand the story line more.
