We have chosen to make a highlights trailer. Our reason for doing this is because we will be able to cover more of the narrative and also are able to get a better idea of what our film will be about. Plus, because our trailer is for a psychological horror, editing and montage will be an important factor to make it scary and suspensful, something best displayed in a highlights trailer. We chose not to do a scene trailer because there wouldn't be one scene from our movie that would get across the full narrative of our story well enough. Also a scene trailer would not allow us to include enough variety and scares to intrigue the audience, and make it memorable.
As our film is a psychological horror we have chosen to do a greenband trailer. This is because we will not include much body horror. The film will be more appropriate for a wider audience, thus making it more marketable, as the trailer will be shown in more media.
Below is the trailer for Sinister (2012) which is a similar genre of horror to what we are planning ours to be. It is a highlights trailer so it helped us to watch it and discover aspects which we could include in our own.
