Trailer Deconstruction
Within this trailer, I really liked the way they conveyed the idea of being watched through the use of the non diegetic camera clicks and the use of a projector show reel. It gave it an interesting old fashioned feel through the jitteriness of the picture. This intensified the tension within the trailer through the quick editing.
I feel it is a good trailer to take influence from as it shows that just through special effects and editing, we can easily make simple camera shots seem effective in creating a type of mood to scare the audience. The use of whispering combined with an eerie airy sound within the trailer works extremely well at intensifying the mounting tension within the film. It makes it creepier than simple silence, as it is more foreboding and realistic to real life.
There is also an interesting shot that would be good to take influence from where the word 'killer' is written in blood on glass. I like the way the glass is made to look realistically scratched and the positioning of the word on screen means that through the quick editing, the audience is able to see a flash of it, just enough to leave them intrigued.
