Why I won't use a costume for the Demon

In my film trailer there will be a demon or at least it will make it look like something is there which adds mystery to the trailer. I won't use any costume for the demon and I will try and make it so that you won’t even see the demon you will just know something is there. This is because if I was to make someone appear as the demon it would look unprofessional because I wouldn't be able to create something that lives up to film standards. therefore I will make it so that a shadow may appear or just the outline of a figure because this way it still adds fear to the trailer but also mystery because people will want to know what it is.

Problems when filiming

When I first attempted filming for my film trailer I chose to film at night because this way it would be scary and relate to the horror genre well. However when I watched the footage back that I filmed it turned out that you couldn't see much and it wasn't clear what was going on. This was a problem because I need to make sure that the filming I produce is clear to see but still relates to the horror genre. In order to do this I need to choose a better time of day to film my footage because this means that it will still be dark but it will be clear to see what is happening as well.

It is important that my audience can see what is happening in my trailer because it means they can see what is going on and get ideas as to what the storyline is about and what might happen. if the filming isn't clear enough to show this then it won't be successful and would look unprofessional.

Therefore next time I film I will make sure that it is still clear outside but not too bright because this will get me the best effect.

Acting

In my trailer there is going to be lack of acting and very little of it. This is because to make my trailer look as professional as possible I don't want the acting quality to b laughable therefore this is why I wont put as much in as a normal trailer because it wont live up to this standard. I will still make my trailer look professional and have a good storyline that will be shown in the trailer but there will just be less acting than usual.

How can I make my trailer realistic?

There are several ways in which I can make my trailer realistic. One of these reasons is to not make up a completely fictional character that people know for a fact doesn't exist. Therefore this means that I need to keep the character simple such as a demon because some people have proof that these exist meaning that more people will believe the story and it will make them question if demons are true if they didn't previously believe it. Therefore this means that I won't go over the top and make a costume making someone look like a fictional character because it won't interact with the audience.

Realism

It is important that my trailer is realistic to some extent. Although it is a horror movie and people don't always believe in the things you see in horror films, I need to make sure that I try and make my trailer as realistic as I can. I want the trailer to be as realistic as possible because this means that it will interact with my audience better and make them become more scared which is the aim of a horror film. This is what I want my trailer to do. It is important that I try and make my trailer look believable otherwise the audience wont interact with the trailer and will find it boring, but I don't want this.
