I have decided to research some current horror teaser trailers from films that I feel are very inspirational and represent the typical conventions and effects that I want to explore and re-create in my own teaser trailer.
As you can see from the above teaser's, I am really drawn to the technique of using a hand held camera. I think this makes the film seem very realistic and I like the idea of making the audience believe that the film is based on a true story, which can in itself add horror and tension to the plot by itself. I also like the night vision effect, as I think that even the most comfortable of places can seem uncomfortable at night. Finally I am really fond of the thought of their being a news report as I think this adds even more realism to the trailer. I feel these trailers are very effective in creating tension and suspense in their teasers which would draw their target audience into making them want to watch the film. An idea that myself and my group are very drawn too, is to base our film in a train station or underground station. Basing the film in a familiar, 'normal' place can add to the horror as the audience's views on these places can seem uncomfortable after viewing (we are possibly imprinting a fear into their minds.)
