Queen of the damned is a 2002 film it is a vampire film based on the novel by Anne Rice. Even though this film is not from the grindhouse genre or the slasher genre but it’s still from the horror genre as a whole so it is useful in explaining how trailers for horror films as a whole and this helps us in seeing how we could use the genre as a whole to create our trailer.
The trailer starts with the green card and the supporting cards, it goes on to revealing the ‘final girl’ which tells the viewer that the person is important within the film we followed this theme by showing the killer first this adds an extra layer of suspense as Alferd Hitchcock’s philosophy suggests that by doing this your creating dramatic irony because the audience know who the killer is but the characters don’t. The voiceover explains some of the narrative and this helps the viewer follow the narrative and we followed this convention because it helps the audience figure out some of the narrative.
The trailer follows the same convention as others within the horror genre as a whole in that it has a structure to how the pace of the trailer builds and it includes a caption towards the end. The trailer starts off slow towards the end however it builds up in the pace of the sound and the action there is some killings being shown but it’s just general and doesn’t involve gore. The end card comes on quick around the same speed as the flashes in the beginning. The sound varies throughout the trailer as the actions/shots change the music changes as well.
