This trailer is for the recent horror thriller The Possession, in the making of this trailer I think the writers have created an appropriate feel for the audience through the scenes. One aspect of the trailer that I liked was that it starts out positive with a feel good factor, this is the opposite of a normal horror film, and it slowly starts to get worse. The audience get the feeling that it gets worse via a number of techniques the sounds in the backroom and music play a large part in this trailer, more than other horror trailers. In the beginning of this trailer colours are used appropriately as you think they would be, but less and less colour is used as the trailer goes on.
I like the fact that in this trailer, the evil character is a young child which is usually seen to be happy and innocent, by using this character the producers are able to break apart from the norm and in some respects challenge stereotypes. There is a constant music genre played throughout the clip, there are also whispers added into some sections which is a good effect to use because it can make the audience feel like it is being specifically aimed at them, as if the whisper is talking to them.
My favourite part of the trailer is the end scene because it leaves the audience interested; the scene suddenly goes silent in comparison with the previous scene. The silence allows there to be a build up to something happening, which in this case the hand was coming out of the child’s throat. I thought that, that was a good section to end on as it seemed to be the most horrific part of the trailer, which in my opinion should always be left till the end so that the rest of the trailer does not seem dull.
