To answer the question above, we have planned to create a montage of the videos and themes that have influenced our teaser trailer. Including such films as 'The Ring', 'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo' and many more. We will construct a voice over explaining how these trailers and themes have influenced the making of our trailer. Also how our trailer differs from them and in what ways.
The Ring was one of our main influences. We used there concept of the main character being a young and disturbed child. We knew that having a young main character in a horror film would be a classic way of scaring the viewers as many horrors include young children and are associated with them.
When watching The Ring we decided to brain storm some of the themes involved in the film and see if we could some how incorporate these aspects in our trailer. Some themes we were particularly interested in using were the surveillance's scenes and the use of the television as a visual prop through the film.
Insidious and Hide and Seek were too films we used as influences for the sound aspects of our trailer. We liked the sound effects Incorporated in Insidious because it was so sudden and unexpected and we wanted this in our trailer between some of the different clips. We got the idea of using a voice over from Hide and Seek. We believed having a voice over some of the clips added a creepy effect which was what we were looking for.
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo inspired us with it quick, sharp short takes. There were enough for you to get a slight idea of what was going on but also at the same time not giving away to much of the storyline. It left you as a viewer slightly confused but also intrigued to know what was happening.
