Comparing Trailers With My Own

When researching into horror film trailers we had noticed that the overall presentation of Eden Lake had connected with our own. Our trailers were similar from the setting as they were both filmed around a woods which often lets the audience know of the genre of the trailer. There is a small difference between the trailers as in Eden Lake the trailer shows the main characters in the woods at night time as well as daytime, whereas our film the events take place during the day in order to challenge typical conventions of a horror film. Another similar aspect is the parts filmed in the bathroom.

Another trailer we thought was similar in the aspect of the length is Nothing Left To Fear, which entails many aspects and conventions of the horror genre. In our trailer, we had also used different conventions in a shorter time to other trailers which we feel has a bigger impact on the audience and keeps them engaged in what is happening from the pace of the trailer.
