Horror Final Piece

Today we went to the a woody area in Ravenswood and took some still shots of:


  • Scenery
  • Over-shoulder shot
  • Birds-eye view shot
  • Point of view shot
This helped us practise our camera angles and how we wanted the finishing shot to look. 

Horror film trailers

Last week we watched trailers that people at AS produced and real horror film trailers, this was to help us when developing our own horror trailers.

The trailers we watched were:

  • House 1,2 and 3
  • Nightmare on Elm Street
  • Saw 1 and 6
  • Grave Encounters
  • The Inkeepers
When watching the older styled horror trailers like House and Nightmare on Elm Street, you could see how different the style of horror used to be. The music was the main source of horror in the older trailers whereas in the newer styled trailers gore and physically seeing something scary was involved. The newer trailers, compared to the older, you can see have improved leaps and bounds with the CGI and overall presentation of the trailers.
