URL link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBO8PZvfDJA
Length: 1:27
Genre and sub genre: Horror and psychological thriller
Target audience: 18+ Teenagers and adults
Plot: The plot is very simple. It seems to be various cameras and the occasional hand held camera recording the suspicious activities in this particular house that seems to possess supernatural beings.
Number of charactors: There are four members in this household who are all in the trailer showing their importance in the movie.
Shots: Due to the cameras placed at the top of the walls, the majority of the shots seem to be full shots that can capture any activities in the whole room. The odd close up was shown from the hand held cameras.
Place: The whole trailer was shot at the house where the suspicious activity was taking place.
Sound effects: Slight flickers of noise occur very often as a hope of building tension to give more of a horror effect.
Dialogue: Main dialogue was a conversation between the family discussing the house activities.
Unique selling point: The unique selling point seems to be the mystery of who is causing the unsettlement in the house. These story lines always appeal to a wide target audience.
Conclusion: After looking at this trailer, what will make it popular seems to be the realism of the movie shown through the trailer. This is very clever as it will again attract more audiences.
Mise-en-scene: Majority of the location is in the house and the family are dressed in normal everyday clothing.
Graphics: Some graphics are used to give the effect of supernatural occurrences around the house.

Introduction
My A2 media coursework consists of challenging filming and editing tasks, to create a teaser trailer for the horror film.
The teaser trailer will consist of typical conventions of sound, lighting and mise-en-scene, that I will extract from closely analysed professional horror teaser trailers. From this, I will gain first hand knowledge to make my trailer as realistic as possible.
Meanwhile, throughout this process, I will be researching the in-depth art of creating the perfect trailer to give the typical vision of a horror trailer.
Included in this task, is a group task of shooting the actual footage of the horror trailer. However, we will be individually editing the final footage to create a unique peice to put on our own blogs.
