Trailer Analysis: SCREAM 4 TRAILER
What? A fourth installment of the Scream series and first of a new trilogy!
Who? Neve Campbell, David Arquette and Courteney Cox are the only returning main cast members from the previous films.
Where? Were going back to the same spot as 10 years ago!
Genre? Blood/ gore/ thriller
Why? Well, good old Ghost face is back. Returning for another stab at our old friend Sidney Prescott. Will she survive, won't she? In the years that have passed there have been no "real life" Ghostface murders but have been numerous sequels to the movie-within-a-movie Stab. Sid's done her best to move on from the events that occurred in the previous films, even releasing a successful book. The main characters have to figure out where the horror genre is in current days to figure out the modern events happening to and around them. It was reported that the actors were not given the script past page 75 in order to protect the identity of the ghostface killer. Basically... New decade. New rules.
Could this be featured in the trailer?
The film trailer starts with the typical 'black out phone rings "Hello Sidney...'. This one liner tells the audience 'Yes Scream is back and it's better'. By using this it throws the audience straight into the storyline. Even though Tangerine Productions trailer won't be carrying on from another, we can open the film with a short, snappy 'one liner' that will draw the audience into the story immediately.
This trailer also features cuts which lead onto written screens, 'One movie redefined fear'. This gives the audience more information that can not be explained via a voice offer or through the film shots itself. Tangerine could use this written feature to describe or give extra information which will help the plot become clear to the audience. It will also engage the audiences focus more because the will have to be more involved in the trailer.
