What? The film is the last of the excorcist films.
Who? Patrick Fabian, Iris Bahr and Louis Herthum
Where? It's set in Louisiana, America on a family farm.
Genre? Horror/Thriller
Why? The trailer shows the traditional exorcist traits i.e. abnormal body movements, possessed girl, devil crushing. However, it has a more audience to action relationship by the way it's filmed as a documentary. This makes the audience feel really in the action. The trailer sets the story in the first 10 seconds so the audience know it's an exorcist film with a whole new direction.
Could this be featured in the trailer?
The Last Exorcism is a mockumentary (mock documentary) horror film, we could incorporate this filming technique into our trailer so that the audience feel like they are the cameraman, witnessing the events close up. This makes the film more edgy and frightening because the audience feel like they are apart of the action. This mockumentary style will give a more audience involved response.
Tangerine also like the simple theme to all the exorcist plots where the girl becomes possessed.It gives an explanation for supernatural events e.g. things dying, abnormal events. Including strange happenings into the trailer in a montage will build up suspense, because of it features fast pace cuts and rising dramatic music. In The Last of Exorcism trailer there is a fast paced montage (beginning at 1:41) which features short, cut clips such as the girl making her body disjointed,very in various possessed states and elements of fire. This adds suspense which will make the audience curious to see more and therefore go to the cinema and watch it. Engaging the audience into what they want to see, makes a trailer successful and will guarantee the film to be a success.
