The Haunting in Connecticut trailer

I have tried to find the teaser trailer for the film 'The Haunting in Connecticut'
but was unable to find one. I therefore have got the full length trailer for a few reasons.



Firstly I wanted to show Lora and Alana the music at the end of the trailer. The really creepy and eerie piano playing was really disturbing putting that audience on edge and very alarmed. I feel we should look for some sort of non-copy right music like this as I feel it would really enhance our preliminary task and would add to the effect that we are trying to create and I feel it would also flow with our main task if we choose to do a horror themed trailer as i expect, as we seem to be leaning towards it.

Secondly like the 'Super 8' teaser trailer the editing really sums up the theme of the film, the quick 'flash-on-flash-off' effect is displayed throughout between the narrative parts of the trailer. However unlike the 'Super 8' trailer there is a voice over of the woman character from the film. This gives the audience the impression they are being spoken to by the character. Also there is a lot of dialogue in the trailer which shows the plot line of the film and also its unique selling point the violent super natural effect. The film also has a great deal of shots and angles making the trailer look exciting and frightening, with all of the spooky happenings being shown at great length. The special effects are also shown and show that they are very effective and believable adding to the unique selling point as to the verisimilitude being involved where the audience are so immersed.

The film being broken up by the credits and intertitles give the audience a breather from the action but also the information given of the release date and name of the film. I think this is again very effective and should be taken into consideration in our own teaser trailer.
