Trailer Analysis
Name of Film - The Shining
Year Released - 1980
Genre of Trailer - Mystery Horror
My overall review - 7/10
Brief outline of the trailer - Throughout the trailer, we can see our three main characters, who have been offered to stay in an old hotel for the weekend. It starts out to be quite a normal vacation, until our main male character is shown to be the main villain through psychological problems. Throughout the trailer we get to see multiple shots from different points in time. We see this when he is breing offered the vacation, him and his family doing some activities at the hotel and the attemptive murder of his family.
Positive Analysis - The things that I particuarly liked is that we get the storyline given to us from multiple different points in time which are randomised. This gives us the idea that the overall story is a complete mix up and also links us back to their previous events instead of just running through the whole story.
Negative Analysis - The only thing I found bad in this trailer was that it was a rather slow trailer. For a horror, we were given no gore which is what is expected in trailers. It seemed to have quite a lot of slow points throughout it which didn't draw you in completely and left you there waiting for the next big thing.
