Horror
trailer analysis
Name of film: The possession Year released:
2012
Genre of trailer: Horror
Your mark: 8/10
The trailer starts with a Dad coming to get his kids to stay
with him for the weekend. While they’re there it shows them going to somebodies
garden sale which at this point is where the girl finds a box that she wants
her dad to buy for her. They bring in home and the dad comes to the conclusion
that whoever made the box didn’t want people to open it. Eventually it gets
opened causing strange things to happen to the girl and her family.
The trailer builds a lot of suspense and leaves the audience
wanting know what this box and why it’s causing all these problems. There is
well placed close ups off the girl eating her breakfast to quick and there is
eleven quick cuts from her to her dad really showing how this girl has changed.
The music in the background works really well as it’s not too loud but it gives
it a really creepy affect with the silent whispering as if they are saying
something religious and maybe giving the audience an idea that this box might
have something to do with the devil. The music builds up further on in the
trailer to build tension and start to make the trailer more exciting.
The trailer could have added more action to it to make it
more exciting and really grab the audience’s attention. There is so many quick cuts that it could confuse the audience to what the film is about.
