Children

Children n horror films are usually wearing pyjamas and therefore I am going to follow this convention because it has a good effect on the audience. It makes the children look more scary especially if they are the main character that may possibly be haunted.

Female

I feel that it would look better if the women were bare feet because I have the idea that a woman would be running and therefore it wouldn't be practical for her to do this in high heels.

Costumes

It is important that the costumes my characters wear look realistic and aren't too other the top because it will look forced and not realistic. I want it to look realistic because these types of horror movies are the best as they effect the audience ore than something exaggerated. Therefore it is important that I
make sure I dress my characters in every day to day clothes but they will need to be dull not bright as this will go against the horror conventions. The clothes will need to be black and other dark colours.

Location Ideas

A location like this would be perfect for the setting of my teaser trailer. This is because it is an abandoned house which would be perfect as it looks rough and haunted but also because the lighting would be perfect because it would be restricted but would be enough to be able to see what you are recording. This sort of location would have a good effect on the trailer as well because it is important that the location I choose is suitable for a horror movie because this will make the trailer more interesting. The location of a trailer makes every difference on the final result because I don't want to choose somewhere that looks normal because it won't scare the audience as much.

Teaser Trailer Conventions

 

 

This is a mind map I created to list all of the horror teaser trailer conventions because this will help me to make my own trailer as I can follow the main important conventions.

Film Magazine Cover Research 2

Film Magazine Cover Research

 

Movie magazines are also important for promoting films that are new and coming out in cinemas. The main image on this front cover is appealing to an audience because it sends out a strong message and draws an audience in. this image will draw anyone in that like action movies as there is a well-known actor on the front of the magazine holding two guns. Therefore this automatically makes people want to see the film especially if they are a fan of Mark Wahlberg’s work.
