today i have began to research horror films, for some key influences which will hopefully spark an ingenious idea for my horror trailer.

paranormal activity 3 is the third in the sequel and was a great hit with the fans. the key prospect in the film which makes it thrilling and scary is the idea of ghosts and the sense of the unknown not being able to see your attacker. this is stereotypically found in horror films because it adds tension a propels the audience into a shock of terror. 

saw has had many sequels believably 6 in the line of these horror films and the reason they have had so much success with each film is purely to the fact that the story line to these horrors are sick and twisted and their fans cant get enough of it. this films steriotipcally link to the horror genre because it is dark and blood thirsty. and the contraptions that the serial killer creates and uses on his victims are mysterious and abnormal, which is something that you dont see everyday and thats why i belive Saw has been so successful in its long rein of history.

here is the Stangers, which is based around serial killers, killing innocent people for their own entertainment which is sick with in itself. but what makes this film so successful is thier use of props this being the freaky masks which connote the feeling of the unknown which puts the audience on the edge of thier seats because the killers could be anyone. which always helps to create the scary factor with in a film and is a great idea for me to use in my trailer.

here is my prelim task which involves a variety of camera shots which we had to emphasize to make this worth while. our story line is based around a Friend/colleague being murdered by a killer and a Friend/colleague having to witness this gruesome act.
