The Woman In Black (Remake)
Released in 2012
Horror
My mark after viewing was 8/10
In this trailer we get a rough idea of what the story is all about. There is also a creepy child’s voice singing a poem to some quiet, music box like music. We see images of toys coming up very often along with some very dramatic flash images and some strange longer cuts showing the eeriness of the setting. Like the other trailers, its starts off slowly and then gets quicker throughout.
Points that I would consider using in my film are the creepy music in the background. That for me, made the trailer as powerful as it is. The rest of the sound is mainly muted and we just hear the quiet eerie song with images that should be loud and distressing. Contrapuntal music is used extremely effectively here. I also like the simplicity of the trailer. It’s not too complicated and doesn’t give too much away but still allows the viewer to understand what kind of film they are going to see.
Points that I would avoid is the voice over, in the case a child’s. Even though it is exceptionally effective and appropriate for this film, as it’s about children being killed in strange ways, it would not work for my trailer. I feel as if it would ruin the atmosphere I am trying to create for the viewer.
