Horror trailers: The Thing

The first trailer I'm looking at is for the 1982 John Carpenter film 'The Thing'. The trailer starts off with the title in bold white slowly being revealed while there is a radio transmission saying that something has been discovered, this already sets up that in the plot there is something mysterious in the film. when the title is revealed there is a cut to a research facility in the middle of Antarctica, this shows how isolated the characters are from civilization and that they are alone with the mysterious creature. This trailer gives a real sense of tension shown through uses of a multitude of different shots including tracking shots close ups, tension is also shown through the unsettling music and the multitude of cuts. the trailer is very character driven as it shows many shots of the different characters and features alot of dialogue, this suggests that the film will have alot of character development which is relativly common place in horror.

This horror film was inspired by the recent horror Paranormal Activity in which mysterious events occur at the home of a young couple. Sam and I made this the same day we saw the film so we had a good idea in our minds of how it needed to be, we adopted as many camera and editing techniques as we could from the film and even interpreted a few of the scenes.
