Horror Media Teaser Trailer Project 2009/2010
Planning
My first Stage for this plan was to think about the idea and then plan the beginning, middle and end stages of this final media A2 project ,this would hopefully help me throught these various task.
This process will help me to understand the processes and how to get to final stage.
I have drawn a quick mind map of the main steps i think would be important and
Created a quick list of notes to help me.
This mind map will be posted online once i can scan it in or take a photo of mind map.
Analysis
I have analysed 3 main movie trailers
"Wolfman" (http://www.traileraddict.com/trailer/the-wolfman/trailer)(a violent stylish period drama style with great special effects with a love theme with werewolf)
Twilight -new moon (http://www.traileraddict.com/trailer/new-moon/tv-spot-bellas-choice) (Sequel to successful twilight film with great voice over to attract young audience)
and Paranormal Activity. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_UxLEqd074 ) (a realistic story about haunting inside a house looks real creepy from trailer with lots of hype) .
All three of these trailer are online and urls are listed here.
Teaser trailers examples are harder to find and less frequent on you tube as
well other online resources. From my research i did find most are between 30sec and 90 sec in length and some do only show little clips of the final project due to some of them are shot at the early stages of filming and may not include final edited footage from film, it is used primarily to help film companies promote the film before or during early production to enable the publicity to start quickly so that people remember the film title.I saw a teaser trailer for toy story 3 early after they announced it officially ,but it was just main characters talking about Title story 3 and did not show any scenes .Now i see quick montage trailers with scenes from the film.
As I analysed most of these new horror trailer, i have concluded that a narration
or voice over may help to set scenes for film faster and use of appropriate graphic
and mis en scene is important because of the short attention span of the advert to
appeal to the horror fans target audience.
Research
As a result of my research i have decided to do some questionnaires and have
mainly handed it out teachers at NMBEC , church members and online and to strangers over’s 18.
Some of the questions may help me decide on final story line.
Link will be listed as soon as i get it online as a pdf or word file.
I prefer to do mind maps and hence i planned a full process of the the whole final stages in production of making a short trailer.
The mind map of the narrative theory helped to me to include certain theory ideas in the story i wrote so that it would appeals to different target groups.
This hybrid method helps me concentrate on certain theories that audience can
identify with and the use of representations will appeal to any horror genre audience.
Please make or add coments so i can update and make this a better blog.
