WHICH POSITIVE, CLEVER OR INTERESTING ASPECTS DO YOU THINK YOU COULD INCLUDE IN YOUR OWN TRAILER? WHAT GENERIC FEATURES ARE FULFILLED WELL?

·         The hidden identity of the ‘woman in black’ is very mysterious and enticing.

·        The end is a drop scare that is unexpected to which we finally see ‘the woman in black’.

·        The era is very dated, looks to be set in the early 1900s – during the WWII - due to the aesthetics, which is very interesting and historical contextual.

WHICH ASPECT OF THE TRAILED DID YOU THINK WERE UNSUCCESSFUL, AND WOULD PUT OFF ITS TARGET AUDIENCE? HOW IS IT DISAPPOINTING?

·         It doesn't deliver horror enough; it’s more of a thriller/mystery film – the only horror/jumpy part was the ending.

·         The build up to the plot was fairly long. We don’t understand the horror of the house until ¾ of the way through when things occur in the house.

WHAT DO YOU RATE THE TRAILERS SCORE? WHY DID IT RECEIVE THAT MARK?

I rate it a 6. I don’t think it sold horror enough; there was only was section that made me jump. The reason why I gave it a 6 is predominantly because of the early 1900s stylistic aspects which are very interesting to see. This may be very popular with other people but I’m not of interest in this genre of horror.
