Working on a software called I-movie i was able to create a movie trailer and further edit it with special effects to create a exciting finished product.
Using slow motion and fast cut shots increase the tension which gradually builds highlighting the thriller/horror genre of the film. Calling it (The Jinn) and arabic term meaning devil (evil spirit) sounded unusual and immediatley starts to make you think. The trailer itself revolves around 4 main charachters; a little boy who the stroyline revolves around as he gets possessed and his sister who seems quite a dominant force not getting along very well. A dark figured man who passes away seemingly unnoticed while the brother does all he can to help the possession of his younger brother.
I have chosen to use 4 key charachters as it fits with the conventions of other movie trailers and it helped me focus my work and create individual scenes better. I also used background music to add to the excitement and added non-digetic sounds to build up the anxiety. Throughout the trailer i have added text which pops up making the audience visualise what may happen always keeping you at the edge of your seats.
A voice over will be included to make it more realistic helping the audience understand whats happening. Using intertextuality where the film trailer the Panic Room and Hide & Seek are filmed in darkness my trailer is also mainly filmed in a dark atmosphere keeping the thriller genre of the movie throughout watching it.
