Insidious Film Trailer

The scene opens with mysterious music that shutters every now and again to suggest somehting is moving real quickly, which makes the viewer paranoid. The first thing you see is the title of the film, you then hear a voiceover which says "are you ready" then the first actors appears. The use of the voiceover helps as it may be a rhetorical question asking the audience are they ready which makes them a part of the film. The next scene includes the use of text showing that this film has the same producers as such films as "Paranormal Activity" and "Saw". This is useful at the beginning at the trailer so it attractions fans from those films to come and see Insidious, it is also useful so that you as a viewer will know what time of film to expect before going to see it.

Then a use of short medium shots are used which tells part of the story, from this you gain information that theres a family of 4 with 2 young children who have recently moved into a new home. Throughout these short scenes they have included the name of the movie again which helps viewers remember the name of the film. A close up shot is then used on the mother of the house as she looks confused and is walking through the corridor into one of the child's bedroom. A soundtrack is used over the top to create tension and to show that something bad is about the happen. A medium shot is then used as you see the rocking horse rocking and the mother stops it and the camera zooms out to show the confusion on her face. A loud non dijetic sound is then used and the falsh of the name of the film appears again.

A series of short clips are used again to set the scenes such as showing the young child go into his bedroom, a strange sound on the baby monitor and the mothers face to this. A long shot is then used as they open a bedroom door to show the child in his bed and a voiceover is used suggesting that there is something in the room with him which they cannot see. A close up is then used of a door knob to show that they can't enter the room and then a close up showing members of the family running.

A close up is then used showing an old lady saying that "she doesn't think bad wiring is the issue here" then an extreme close up is then used on here eye to show the quick movement as she looks worried at the ceiling. A high angle shot is then used to show the old womans face as she looks worried which suggests that something must be bad. Expansion of time is then used again as they show a series of short scenes to link into what has happened involving the old lady and voiceovers are used over the top of these scenes as narration.

A narration is then used which quotes "its not the house that is haunted its your son" which gives an insight to the story line. A series of still images are then used to show characters faces as they look in horror and a soundtrack is used throughout of a quick loud fast pace creating tension. The last thing used for the trailer is the use of the film name again and the date of which it is in cinemas, this will help audiences to remember as the name is used throughout.
