Haunted Hotels
Click icon to add picture
We were inspired by the idea of a haunted and/or abandoned hotel. It’s a
staple of the horror genre, and adds a sense
of mystery and going into the unknown. We
choose to base our location and trailer
around a creepy B&B because we feel this
would make it a classic horror with a
stereotypical location, granted to make the audience on edge.

this added a ‘spooky’ sense, and
a eerie mood. A cemetery is seen across the horror
genre, in most film location.

Film Inspiration The films we are using as
inspiration for sound, camera, representation and narrative all
have similar conventions.
Silence of the lambsWe are inspired by this film as its known as one of the best horror films of all time.
The Shining This film inspires us as the sound effects and the music add to the build up the film and make it a classic physiological film.
Cabin in the WoodsThey use the stereotypical teenagers which we have taken to create our teenagers as they inspired us. We also like the narrative of this film which we are using to create our own.
We used the idea of everybody having a phobia to inspire us
for our film narrative. We
decided on common phobias to use within our film
trailer that will have everyone on edge when watching it.
Phobias
Camera AnglesSome examples of the camera
shots we looked at as inspiration for our horror trailer.
Extreme Close UpWe are inspired by this shot as we think it is intimating for the viewer. If used in sudden cuts then its possible to make the viewer jump and unnerved.
Point of ViewThis camera technique inspires us as it puts the viewer directly in the shoes of the victim/actor. It’s a common technique used in films such as The Blair Witch Project and Paranormal Activity.
Worms/Birds Eye ViewThis makes the viewer feel powerless, and further instils fear into them. Worms eye view within a horror genre, could be seen as if the victim is hiding underneath something on the floor.
