There are several features that make “Face of Fear” an interesting trailer. Many parts of this trailer can appeal to a wide range of audience, firstly you can see that the people who will be attracted to watching this movie will be people who enjoy watching horrors/thrillers not only that but I personally think that a more variety of people will also watch this movie as the trailer is eye catching to watch. This movie is about a group of friends who turn by turn are getting attacked by the villain in the trailer; it shows in graphic detail of everything that is happening within it this will include the camera movement, sound, editing, costume, lighting, and make-up with these key factors this is what makes Face of Fear a trailer to remember.
The camera movements in this trailer are used in many different ways they have used the wide variety of camera movements in their trailer. At the starting of the trailer they have used the “Warner Bros Pictures” which shows that the film will be good because it has that at the starting of it which is a successful company. At the starting of the trailer they use the long shot movement this is so they you can see the whole of the background and were it is set this gives the audience a feel on how the movie will be like. They also use the long shot effect on the characters because this shows were they are and what they are doing you can see how the camera moves in on them whilst they are walking in the dark the setting looks like they are in some kind of forest which makes the horror genre seem more realistic. I think that one of the best parts is about 45 seconds into the movie were they zoom up on the moon this gives it an interesting affect which again links it back to the genre of the movie.
In most the movie they tend to use the long shot affect I think they have done this because they want the audience to see the setting around them this makes it more eye catching to keep on watching. Close up shots are used to show the facial expressions of the characters this emphasises what role they play within the movie, an example of this in the trailer is half way threw the trailer were it shows the actress “Nafisa” who is one of the friends tears dropping from her eyes this shows her emotions and how she is scared which again links back to the genre of the movie.The movements that are used in this are things such as zoom you can see them zooming into the characters facial expressions and on the setting around them.
The sounding that they have used in this trailer is mostly Non Diegetic, i think that they have done this to create more of an effect which grabs the audiences attention makinging them want to finish watching the trailer to watch the whole movie. They have music playing in the background through out most of the trailer with sounds of beats making it more tense as if someones heart is racing, they have also used rock/metal music which makes it seem more dramatic. Not only that but they have the odd parts were someone is speaking such as when one of the actors quote "Hello, Hello" making it seem a suspence trying to figure out who is there.
The editing of the movie makes it seem more dramatic with the effects they have used through out the whole trailer such as wipe were one second you see a scene and after another second its set on someone else. This makes it more effective by grabing the audiences attention. The Mise-en-scene is shown through out the trailer, the costumes that have been chosen in this particular trailer are normal everyday outfits, this gives it the sense that its not aimed to be non real but trying to make it feel as if it is real showing that the clothing is the same that the audience may wear. The lighting through out the trailer is set in the dark this gives it more of a feel to show you that it is a horror/thriller with the lighting being only set in the dark this makes it more effective and in a way scary.
You can see the actors facial expressions in the trailer and also their body language when the camera zooms close onto the actors faces you can see the fear in their eyes and their body language showing what part they must play in the movie, with being thrown into a wheal barrow and getting petrol poured onto the actors this also gives a sense of fear towards the movie. The make-up on the actors make it seem very realistic you can see on one of the main actors "Rajan" the way he has dark bruises on his face making it seem more realistic this will also make the audience want to watch the whole movie.
The name of the movie is given to us at the end of the trailer i think by doing this it leaves the viewers wondering what it may be called and having to figure out what it is about, because in most movies the name gives away what it is about were as here they havent doen thsi giving you a sense of suspence through out the trailer untill the end, i think because of this it makes it more effective. I think that this trailer will be rated 15 because of the violence shown in it, and it may be shown after the watershed (9.00pm) which again will be because of the violence.
