this is like a checklist just to give a brief idea on what my trailer will be like.

To create a horror trailer:

Start of with what your horror trailer is going to be about.                                        

My horror trailer is going to be a scary kid who can mess with peoples minds.

Use movie makers (windows movie makers) or any other ones you know.                                       

Movie makers and adobe after effect and audacity is what I will use.

      

      Research horror trailers by looking at other horror trailers and see how they are made.          

     I have researched horror trailers, the two that gave me a lot of ideas were: the opening to Halloween (1978) and The Ring.

Make sure you make it non linear (doesn’t tell the story)

      By using some ideas from the two trailers I can make it mysterious

Make the setting of the horror clear in the trailer.

There are a couple of places where I think the setting will work well; one of them is down my cellar.

Be sure you don’t have to use writing to explain what is happening in the trailer.

It will all be explained in every shot

Make sure you increase or decrease the suspension in the trailer and be able to make it become interesting.

To make sure I keep my audience interested my trailer will get straight into the action.

Near the ending of the trailer, make it become as scary as you can! (make people jump, e.g. something popping out)

This shouldn’t be a problem as I hope to make my character as scary as possible!

 Tips

      

 Don’t get too attached with the idea of using the baddies all time. Be able to show who the   victims or heroes are.
