Today me and a few students in the class watched horror trailers. We found it very effective because it helped us understand what small details can make the trailer effective. Eg paranormal Activity they show a baby flash then the babys gone but still in the mirror reflection then Hostel II that just had minimal detail, all it showed woman screaming and a variety of torture weapons, we found thats all it needed to freak us out and it explained everything to us.

This made me think that when it comes to my horror movie trailer, that there is many ways to get your point across to the audience.

Font makes a big effect because it reflects the sort of film it is going to be eg. the horror film font would be big,bold,ragged,red,twisted etc.
