Storyboard

Upon researching Gothic Horror trailers I noted that there was a set pattern and a convention amongst the sub genre.  The idea that my trailer should start with a narrator was something I saw in the Crimson Peak trailer, in which the actress starts by saying "Ghosts are real". I felt as though this was a very good idea for my trailer as it made me feel very uneasy, and gave me the feeling that something was going to jump out at me. The creepy feeling I experienced watching trailers such as Crimson Peak, is something I wanted to to portray in my trailer, therefore I felt as though having a narrator would help me portray that feeling.

Another piece of research that influenced my trailer was the Woman in Black trailer. In the trailer, and the film itself, the main source of lighting that the actor uses is a candle. The slight lighting cast shadows across the set and also tapped in the audience's fear of the dark.  This influenced my trailer in the sense that the only lighting I really used was a candle, which equitably lit the scenes and also  added to the creepy  aura that I wanted to portray in my trailer.
