my production company intro (film trailer)

for my First draft of my intro for my film trailer am starting with the production company intro as ive seen this used a lot in horror movie trailers to start the film trailer off.

here are some screen shot from my intro and brief explanation on what it shows and why i used these particular clips.

firstly i have uses a clever title along with the intro as the name of my production company as i believe it gives off more than one meaning i have used the word 'shot, both in a literal and hypothetical meaning. as my films a horror mystery i mean shot in literal meaning this way as well as the hypothetical meaning of when you are shooting a film. i think this cleverly shows how i have looked into the way in which i want my trailer to be portrayed through the language i have used such as 'killing' giving the audience a gore and graphic feelling.

the use of the bullet then again links with the overall gore and violence of the film giving the audience chills and maybe even scarring them with the use of blood on the last part of my into.

choosing my type of horror movie trailer

the horror movie genre that i am going to focus on is a mystery horror film trailer as i feel this would be the most fun and achievable in comparison to to a horror comedy or horror gothic.

aspects i liked about horror mystery :

i like the the suspense that tense atmosphere that is created when you watch the trailer the kind that gives you goosebumps and makes your hairs stand on end. i think that this factor would be achievable with my abilities and creative thoughts so that i effectively the reason why i decided to focus in on horror as a whole and then homed in on mystery horror as the ideal choice of genre of my final piece.

examples of star model horror mystery trailers that i find influential.
