Name of film: 30 Days Of Night
Year released: 2007
Genre of trailer: Gory Horror
My marking after viewing: 9/10
What happened in the trailer: A quiet town in the arctic while experiencing 30 days of night, suddenly come under attack by a group of vampires. The only survivor of the town finds out she is not alone, and meets a group of other survivors who plan on taking revenge on the vampires, and hunting them down, starting with the leader of the vampire group.
Which positive clever or interesting aspects do you think you could include in your own trailer? What generic features are fulfilled well? The trailer overall has a great jump factor, incorporating slow to fast montages. But also, it makes good use of lighting, for instance, the committee hall at the beginning is relatively dark, but when she turns on the lights to kill the vampires, it suddenly becomes very bright and disorientating, adding to the creepy factor of the trailer. The narrative is set out very well from the beginning, and the generic feature of the 'Final Girl' is established quickly.
Which aspects of the trailer did you think were unsuccessful and would put off its target audience? How is it disappointing? The ending could have been made to be a bit faster and more jumpy, as there are a few slow moments that ruin the pace of the trailer.
What was the trailers average score in class? Why did it receive this score?
The average score for this trailer was 8. This was because the trailer was good in setting the narrative, and also is a positive representation of how when you don't have gore, you are able to make it just as scary by including a load of 'jump' factors in there.
