The Paperboy

WWW- It was a very interesting film trailer and kept the audience in their seats. The idea overall was very good and outside the box in terms of any horror film out these days. As a whole, i thought that the music used was dramatic and therefore was parallel sound to the trailer. We weren't shown much on "the paperboy" therefore the audience were intrigued more as they wanted to see this evil creature.

EBI- I personally would have liked the trailer more if we were shown more clips on the "paperboy" however keeping the balance so that we weren't shown too much in the film trailer.

The paperboy is an interesting film trailer which follows the conventions of a typical horror movie through different media skills such as the mise en scene used as well as the music. The music which was played in the background of the film trailer was parallel to the trailer and therefore followed the overall theme of stereotypical aspects of a horror film trailer in order to portray a sense of horror. The whole idea of the film trailer and concept itself is very original therefore captures the audience in a way in which results in them continuing to watch and create an opinion on the trailer. The originality allows views to become involved with what's being shown in front of them, therefore making them intrigued in terms of the movie which they are watching.

The music being played in the background of the trailer was a theme song associated with the exorcist however the concept of the film was different. However despite this, we still know that the film is a horror film due to the fact that the exorcist films are associated as a time-less scary film which everyone has either seen or heard of.

Inner Redemption

WWW- The film trailer for inner redemption was interesting and followed the stereotypical conventions of a stand horror film and trailer.

EBI- Lacked a bit of originality in terms of what was produced and shown as there are many horror films which follow the ideologies of a character being possessed.

The audience knew what they were watching once the trailer started due to the music which had been played  in the background of the film trailer. For example, the conventions of a typical horror film would generally be that the music would be quite daunting and slow yet builds up with pace and suspense. The way Inner Redemption did this followed the conventions which are generally associated with this type of film: a horror film trailer.

On the other side of things, the trailer was very interesting such as all the shot which were used. In the entire duration of the trailer, there were many various high to low angled shot in which created a different amount of suspense and a different mood which struck the audience. The low shots which were used portrayed the character; who was the one who was possessed; with power and therefore people are afraid or scared of the character. The interesting part about the
