The document discusses Shane Fellows' selection of movie trailers to reference when creating the trailer for his horror film. He chose popular horror films like The Devil Inside and Chernobyl Diaries because they are similar in concept to his film, featuring a killer and survivors. He also viewed a comedy, American Pie Reunion, and an action film, Chronicle, to understand different genres. Watching trailers from various genres provided inspiration and guidance on the appropriate length and pacing for his horror trailer.

2.  Since my film will be horror based, I have
picked a few trailers that will link with my
trailer, The reason I have picked these trailers
are because they are good horror films and
they're popular within the public.

3.  This film is similar with my
as it shares the same concept
which my horror film will
undertake. Their will be one
killer, and the rest will be the
survivalists. I also enjoy the
scene’s in the trailer, I will
use the same sort of concept.

4.  Here is a link to the Devil Inside’s trailer, it is a
2 minute 30 seconds trailer and it’s only
appropriate for certain audiences.

5.  Again, Chernobyl Diaries is a horror based
film, so again I will be using parts from this
trailer when designing my own. I like the
concept of this horror film as it has a
mysterious, eerie, run through-out the film and
constantly leaves the viewer on the each of
their seats.

6.  Here is a link to the Chernobyl Diaries trailer, it
is 3 minutes and 5 seconds long, it again gives
a warning on appropriate viewing, knowing
that this will be a scary trailer.

7.  This film is different from my trailer as it is a
comedy based film. It has a totally different
perspective than a basic horror film, as its
intent is to make their audience laugh, not
making them jump out of their seat. In my
opinion, this is a very good comedy film.

8.  Here is the trailer for the comedy film
American Pie Reunion, again, nothing like my
trailer as it is a comedy. It is 2 minutes and 10
seconds long.

9.  My final movie trailer is a film called
Chronicle. This is different from what my
trailer is going to be associated with as this film
is ‘action’ based. It has a quick flow to it and it
gets the viewer interested. Action films are
usually at a quick pace as they usually have a
lot of fight scenes.

10.  Here is the final trailer on Chronicle, it is a fast
paced trailer and it is 2 minutes 14 seconds
long.

11.  To conclude, I have watched a different variety
of trailers giving me ideas on what different
types of genres have within their trailers.
 It will help me when making my horror film,
as it has given me better input for when
designing my trailer.
 I have listed all the times of the trailers as I
need to know what time my trailer should be.
Majority of the trailers are around 2 minutes 30
seconds-3 minutes long, this will give me a
basic idea of how long my trailer should be.
