Since my film will be horror based, I have picked a few trailers that will link with my trailer, The reason I have picked these trailers are because they are good horror films and they're popular within the public.
This film is similar with my as it shares the same conceptwhich my horror film will undertake. Their will be one killer, and the rest will be the survivalists. I also enjoy the scene’s in the trailer, I willuse the same sort of concept.
Here is a link to the Devil Inside’s trailer, it is a 2 minute 30 seconds trailer and it’s only appropriate for certain audiences.

Again, Chernobyl Diaries is a horror based film, so again I will be using parts from this trailer when designing my own. I like the concept of this horror film as it has a mysterious, eerie, run through-out the film and constantly leaves the viewer on the each of their seats.
Here is a link to the Chernobyl Diaries trailer, it is 3 minutes and 5 seconds long, it again gives a warning on appropriate viewing, knowing that this will be a scary trailer.

This film is different from my trailer as it is a comedy based film. It has a totally different perspective than a basic horror film, as its intent is to make their audience laugh, not making them jump out of their seat. In my opinion, this is a very good comedy film.
Here is the trailer for the comedy film American Pie Reunion, again, nothing like my trailer as it is a comedy. It is 2 minutes and 10 seconds long.

My final movie trailer is a film called Chronicle. This is different from what my trailer is going to be associated with as this film is ‘action’ based. It has a quick flow to it and it gets the viewer interested. Action films are usually at a quick pace as they usually have a lot of fight scenes.
Here is the final trailer on Chronicle, it is a fast paced trailer and it is 2 minutes 14 seconds long.

To conclude, I have watched a different variety of trailers giving me ideas on what different types of genres have within their trailers.
It will help me when making my horror film, as it has given me better input for when designing my trailer.
I have listed all the times of the trailers as I need to know what time my trailer should be. Majority of the trailers are around 2 minutes 30 seconds-3 minutes long, this will give me a basic idea of how long my trailer should be.
