Movie Trailer- Paranormal Activity

This is a trailer for a film called Paranormal Activity. This is meant to be the sacriest certificate 15 movie ever. In this trailer I like at the end where the name of the movie comes up. This is because it is making the audience wait for the title of the film but also they will remember it more if it the last thing that they see and hear. I also like the flashing effect that the name of the movie has at the end of the trailer as I think that it creates more effect and also makes the name stick in the audiences head. This is also due to the deep voice over that is playing throughtout the trailer as I think that this is one of the most important feature that is in the trailer because it creates a lot of danger and tension because of the deep voice that is used as it sounds suspicious. This is a very big conventions with many trailers for horror and thriller movies. This just shows how important this feature is when creating a trailer for this type of genre that I am thinking of creating myself soon. This has helped me to think what I really need in my trailer but also what isn't so important. Another big conventions in these trailers is that the lighting seems to be very dark. This tells the reader that soemthing is going to happen but also the genre of the movie straight away. Some people think that having dark lighting is a form of informing the viewers because they know straight away what the genre is. Therefore, this is a must in my trailer as some of the filming needs to be done in dark rooms and in the dark night. I have noticed that there is one feature in the trailer that isn't a convention and this is that throughout the trailer there is no sound track this creates the realism as this is meant to be real life footage that has meant to have happened. This creates more tension and suspision that this is actually real footage.
