Shot Lengths
We have looked at different horror trailers. From this we will work out the average number of shots and the average lengths of the shots. We will then try to stick to this as much as possible when it comes to filming our trailer. This is because this amount and lengths of shots should be quite effective.
The Amityville Horror (2005)
|
Number of Shots: 67
Average Length: 2s This trailer was very fast paced as each shot was only on average 2 seconds. However the amount of shots used and the total time of the trailer; 2 minutes and 21 seconds, means that the storyline would be set out clearly. This is a good thing as it then means that the audience would know whether or not they wish to watch this film. |
The Purge 2 Anarchy (2014)
|
Number of Shots: 69
Average Length: 1.3s Once again this trailer is very fast passed as the shot is an average of 1.3 seconds. There are also 69 shots altogether and the trailer is only 1 minute and 35 seconds. This means that the storyline should be clear although it may not be as clear as the previous trailer. However the audience should still be able to tell from this trailer whether or not they wish to see the film. |
The Quiet Ones (2014)
|
Number of Shots: 43
Average Length: 3s This trailer has longer shots than the previous two trailers. This means that although it is still fast paced it is not as faced paced as the other two. The amount of shots is also smaller and that there are bigger peaces of the film being revealed. This trailer is also 2 minutes and 12 seconds long. This means that the storyline is going to be clear so that the audience will know whether they want to watch the film or not. |
