Bulmer and Katz came up with this idea of how the audience choose how to consume media for different purposes. Our trailer meets some of the ideas that Bulmer and Katz came up with. Our trailer reflects how the audience can escape from everyday problems and routines. This shown when the protagonist is investigating into the house and this allows the audience to following along with the protagonist as she tries to find out more about the house which causes a distraction for the audience from there everyday problems as they can apart of someone else problem and see how it get resolved. Personal relationship is also reflected in our trailer as the audience get an insight into the two sister and how they go and look into finding out about the antagonist. The audience would then follow along how they would end being separated in the film and how the protagonist copes with the emotional strain. the main purpose of our trailer was to entertain the audience, as putting in the plot of having a mysterious antagonist in an abandon house, recently being brought by a new family, allows the audience to be focused and following along how this plot is created.
HOW HAVE YOU APPEALED TO THE MALE GAZE IN YOUR TRAILER? IF YOU HAVEN'T, WHY DID YOU MAKE THAT DECISION?
For our trailer we did not consider about appealing to a male gaze because we wanted to gain a wide audience as we portrayed the protagonist as quite independent and confident in facing the antagonist. This would challenge the conventions as we wanted to keep a confident female, who would deal with the situations on her own or would have another member of family help her i.e her sister helps he in finding out about the mystery. We kept the focus mainly on the plot of the film as we thought that audience would intrigued to find out about what would happen next as the trailer presents enigma codes makes them eager to find out about the story as we have hinted that it is based on a true story.
WHAT GENRE IS THE TRAILER AND HOW HAVE YOU CONVEYED THIS TO YOUR AUDIENCE?
The genre of our trailer is a horror. The way we have conveyed this by meeting the relevant conventions such as having a mysterious antagonist who will be lurking around the film and will as much as they can in order to torture the protagonist. We have done this by having a long shot of the antagonist hiding behind the a tree in the forest which is then complemented by the eeire non diegetic sound, leaving a unknown identity and leaves the audience an enigma code, making them intrigued about what the intentions are from the antagonist's perspectives. We also included some sort of investigation for the protagonist to be confident in researching and allows the audience to follow along to find out more. The location that we used also meets the conventions of a horror film as we used a haunted and a forest to show the connection of the antagonist being present as it lurks around allowing the audience the presence of it being there. This would create a this unknown, tense atmosphere for the audience as they watch the film.
WHAT MAKES YOUR PRODUCTION DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHERS OF THE SAME GENRE? WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
The unique selling point of our film is that we wanted to make the story dominant as the we gave linked our antagonist as having a close ancestor link with the family and will be revealed the history behind it and how the house was abandoned, due to the distinctive cut in relationship, leading to long term damage of losing people close to them within the film. It shows a way of the audience watching an broken history still being resolved by modern links in the present. We thought that having this element to our trailer would allow the audience to interested as it shows a continuation of the past, and how it impacts the characters in our trailer.
