Genre: Gory Horror
What happens in the trailer: this is a highlights trailer showing the ‘best bits’ of the film. It introduces the characters and backs up generic character conventions such as the final girl and the female victim. This trailer shows the general plot line as well as the violence and body horror that are within the film.
What is good about the trailer: I think that the slow montage at the start of the trailer sets the scene for the narrative as well as drawing out the tension of the audience. The use of the collision cutting from slow and quiet to loud and fast with the shot of the car going over the camera down the road. I think that this trailer also uses very quick cuts successfully as this raises the heart rate of the audience. I also like the use of the happy music that is parallel to the happy people that just stops just as the true nature of the trailer becomes apparent. This lulls the audience into a false sense of security. I like the way that the trailer counts to thirteen using the victims of Jason, this would be interesting towards fans of the old films as they would feel that they knew what was happening. Fans of the horror genre would also be attracted to this film through the trailer because of the vast amount of body horror and violence that is apparent in the trailer.
What was bad about the trailer: I think that the trailer takes a long time to get the pace up to the right speed, this may put people off the trailer because they tune out of it before the things that would attract them to the film appear in the trailer. There is also no jump scare so it leaves the audience hanging a bit, there is nothing for them to go away from the trailer with. the trailer also expects the audience to know something about the story by having Jason's mask as the ending image, this would not have the same effect on someone if they knew nothing about the series.
My Score: 7/10 this is a good trailer however which introduces the narrative and genre well however i fear that horror fans would get bored within the start of the trailer as it drags out and people who know nothing about the old series would not understand the trailer completely.
