Inspiration

When was looking at ideas for our British horror/thriller film trailer, one film immediately come to mind and this was Shane Meadows Dead Man shoes, there are a number of techniques we will be taking away from this trailer.
1. Voice over: When we watched the Dead Man Shoes trailer we all believed that the voice over from Andy's Brother (The killer) was very effective, this was because it set the scene and gave us a subtle idea of what will occur throughout the film. In our trailer we will use a voice over from the killer explaining why he commits such crimes.
2. Snappy Transitions: In this trailer snappy transitions are used to create tension and build up speed, this is stereotypical to films of this genre. We are planning to use this in our trailer to give clear indication to the audience that it is a horror film.  It will also build up pace which is similar to how Dead Man Shoes created tension.
3. Sounds: In Dead Man Shoes the sounds used are noticable loud and sudden, this again is to build up tension and leave the audience anticipating the next jumpy moment, this is the exactly how we want our audience to feel when watching our teaser trailer.
