Paranormal Activity 2 and 3 trailer analysis

Both of these films follow the same guidelines and basic storyline for the trailers. They are all created to build suspense and anticipation about the film which is done very well in a number of ways. The trailers give very little way about the actually storyline, however you can clearly see its a horror film. Its shown easily by the colour scheme, very dark colours which emphasises the feeling of vulnerability. Another big aspect of these trailers and other horror films, especially with the second of the 3 trailers is the fact its all at night. The night time with horror films gives the huge feeling of being unsafe and very unprotected, which is something we're taking in to consideration when we make my final trailer.

Also because of the way they're all filmed in the trailer, it creates a good level of continuity. The shots are mostly with the point of view of a hand held camera which creates the storyline of it all being on the same similar time line.


Another important aspect of the paranormal activity films is probably the most similar film me and Sidney are try to create, which allows us to get some ideas or inspiration for our own ideas.
