Golden Trailer Awards

The Devil Inside Won The Golden Trailer Awards For Best Horror Trailer, Because I Am Doing A Horror Film For My Coursework I Will Be Analysing This Trailer.

I think that this film trailer is good in many ways, firstly because of how it uses the music and sound, like at the start of the trailer it sounds like a phone call to the police were a woman says she's killed 3 people, this instantly tells the audience that this is a horror film.After the phone call a creepy music plays that has a classic horror feel towards it, this also tells the audience that this film is a horror. The non-diegetic sound used at the end is goes well with the the film as there is a creepy voice singing the itsy bitsy spider, again this is another well used element in horror films.


The Minse En Scene in this trailer can suggest several things towards the audience because of how well it has been used on this trailer, like the all the crosses around the asylum suggesting that there is something evil that is being held in this place of god. This can make the audience understand the characters and they would therefore may want to know how they are in the story plot. The Woman Maria is portrayed as crazy or posest and this is the main feature of the film of posetion, this is shown by the blank expression that is in the characters face and the scars on her body.


I think they deserved the award as well because the audience would be impressed with the realism and scariness in this trailer, because from the audience watching this trailer they will know that this film will be scary and already have in mind the basis of the film from past films that have had the same story how ever with recent horror films it is becoming less predictable to see the ending coming

In conclusion I think that the trailer used a variety of techniques which helps the audience to be thrilled and be scared, they will also not see certain element coming and would have a "jump" factor
