Research and Planning: Genre Research (IT Trailer)

After we decided to change our trailer idea to Horror, we found inspiration in Stephen King's film IT, which involves a clown killer who kills children. As we have changed, I thought it would be appropriate to research a bit into IT and watch the trailer for it to gain even more inspiration on how we could film our own clown trailer. I noticed that the trailer uses a lot of fast editing with only certain dialogue shown including words like "Help" which relates to the film itself. There is a lot of fade editing transitions which connect all of the clips together however I do not really like how many times they used this transition as I think that a trailer should have a bit of a variety to make it more interesting. Throughout the trailer we don't really get much of a storyline other than the fact that the clown is killing people, however with our trailer I want to make sure that the audience know that there is an interesting plot line. Therefore I will be adding more dialogue to my own trailer.
