.Name of film: The Unborn
.Year released: 2009
.Genre of trailer: Horror
This trailer starts off slow with various short clips of the film. We see Casey get attacked by a small boy saying 'He wants to be born now'and her eyes slowly start to change colour. She then finds out she is a twin. This is the turning point in the trailer as it starts to speed up. It moves onto a fast montage of shots wich include an attempted exorcism, various monsters and a lot of action. The trailer then speeds down at the end, preparing us for the final jump.
One positive of this trailer is the final jump at then end. A lot of suspense is built up at the end and this trailer delivers a jump perfectly. Another positive is that this trailer uses parallel music as it goes from complete silence to a sharp loud sound. This helps deliver the jump.
On the other hand, the trailer doesn't quite set the narrative. By watching the trailer I understand that the film is based on an unborn twin but that is all I can say about the film from the trailer. The trailer also takes too long to capture the audience. A jump is needed at the beginning to gain the audiences attention so they watch the trailer the whole way through.
Overall, I gave this trailer a six. I will include parallel music in my trailer to help deliver the jumps we include but I will make sure my trailer clearly sets the narrative so my audience knows what they are in for.
