MOVING IMAGE INSPIRATION
What industry trailers inspired our own trailer
While in the research phase of the Trailer project, we decided to take a look and analyse some real industry made trailer examples. We decided to so this so we could figure out exactly what made a good trailer. We analysed multiple trailers and tried to record the amount of shots per trailer which was featured in the Content Analysis page. The analysis of the multiple trailers helped inspire us with some idea's to possibly implement into our own Trailer project when we get the Planning phase of the Trailer project. Inspiration from what these theatrical trailer examples and implementing them into our own Trailer project will hopefully help to make our Trailer more successful.
While Planning our Trailer project we were largely inspired by the Trailer of, Friday the 13th (remake) theatrical trailer by Michael Bay. During the second half of the trailer of Friday the 13th the style of shots and general editing inspired us to try and match the quick shots shown in this second half. We hope to replicate this shot speed style similar to this Friday the 13th trailer to increase the pace of the trailer and provide that tension it needs to be more atmospheric and fitting of the traditional Slasher Horror genre. Friday the 13th's trailer also involves the killer chasing down his victims to kill them once the trailer began to ramp up and get going to the more action orientated sequences. This has inspired us make our shots and even audio track to complement each other in a similar way to this theatrical trailer of Friday The 13th.

Another trailer we have been inspired from is the Halloween 2 2009 theatrical trailer. In the Halloween 2 (2009) trailer the killer Michael Myers goes after several victims during the trailer. Michael Myers actions in this trailer has inspired us to try and implement a way for the actions of our own killer to go after and attack several victims as well as being able to seemingly travel around to many places without being caught. The trait of travelling around came from the way Michael Myers is seemingly able to attack people in a variety of areas within the trailer, this creates more tension as the killer can appear anywhere. We hope to replicate a similar feeling of tension using this technique to our advantage.
