Name of film: The Possession
Year released: 2012
Genre of trailer: Supernatural Horror
My marking after viewing: 7/10
What happened in the trailer: A little girl goes to stay at her dads house as her parents are divorced. While there, they go to a yard sale and her father buys her this mysterious box. The girl mistakingly opens it during the night, and a weird supernatural creature possesses her from the inside. The parents then proceed to try and find out what is wrong with there daughter, and start looking for ways to get rid of this supernatural creature that has possessed their daughter.
Which positive clever or interesting aspects do you think you could include in your own trailer? What generic features are fullfilled well? The use of effects im the trailer works incredibly well with the unusual lighting they have used in the trailer, for instance, when the little girl is shining a blue light down her throat, it creates a creepy atmosphere for when the hand creeps up the back of her throat.
Which aspects of the trailer did you think were unsuccesful and would put off its target audience? How is it disappointing?
The trailer starts of very slow paced, and takes far too long to develope any sort of narrative, and to start adding any real scares/ jumps in the trailer.
What was the trailers average score in class? Why did it receive this score?
The average score for this trailer was 10. This was because the trailer offered everything you would expect from a gory horror. The montages, and collision cuts of fast to slow scenes of gore helped add a disgusting and heartpounding feeling to the trailer. The parallel music also worked really well, as the deep groans, and high nasty sounds of things running through the woods, gets the viewer on the tips of their seat.
