Choice of Trailer

Our group has decided to create a highlights trailer so that we would be able to show the plot line of our horror trailer. The plot is a key feature which is shown in psychological horror and is therefore important in our own psychological horror trailer.

In our trailer we will use these horror conventions:

·         Creepy Location – we will be filming in the college and hospital as a "psychiatric hospital"

·         Body Horror – in our trailer there will be a throat being slit

·         Collision Cutting – we intend to have more than one jump scare
  
.      Canted Angles - during psychiatric shots of the girls we will use expressionist angles to convey the madness further

.      POV Shots - To show "Delirium" we will show him through the girl's eyes

.          Lots of Close Ups – To create a sense of claustrophobia and panic.

·         Psycho – the audience will see Anna and the girls go insane in psychiatric shots as well as the demon "Delirium"

·         Fear of Death/Violence – The characters succumb to the fear of death as it is a better alternative to reality. They are also shown self-harming.

·         Loneliness Theme – The characters will all be shot alone in the psychiatric hospital which adds to the extremity of their madness

.      Feeling outside the CDI - The girls estrange themselves from the CDI by taking drugs and going into rehab
