This interview give me a lot of advice and information which I think I should take account of for my trailer. As he has directed films such as 'The Hills has Eyes', 'Scream' and 'A Nightmare on Elm Street'; he has understood and analysed what scares people. He says that the scare comes from the thought of someone trying to kill them, which our trailer consists of. He also mentions that ' the period of torture porn doesn't scare people that much anymore', which tells me our trailer should not be primarily based on the gore element of a horror. I think for our trailer we go for more of the realistic scare factor, which people actually feel when they are on their own. In Wes Craven film 'My Soul to Take', he explores and depicts the horror genre by emphasising the family and friendship relationships on getting to know the character, rather just the 'slashing' and killing of the protagonists, however these elements are also in there. This tells me that we should try and make the film trailer as scary as possible.
