Horror Trailer: Trailer Music and Sounds

This is all the music and sound effects that I used to create my horror trailer. In total I used around 15 different sound effects and music. I done a bit of research first to what type of music other horror trailers used and whether the music lasted throughout the whole trailer or not. We specifically researched 'Christmas Horror Trailers' as this is what our trailer was most like. We looked at 'A Christmas Horror Story' in particular, this was one of our inspirations where we used the song 'it's not Christmas by Rachel Williams'. This was our opening song. I also listened out for background noises to which I then researched on YouTube some sound effects where I then applied this to the trailer. I also added in humming noises and creepy child giggles in the background as it made the film seem much more scarier and added to the level of creepiness. One song that made the trailer seem very creepy was the song 'Carol of the bells', this was purposely added to creep out the audience to which when showing the trailer to them showed to have worked. 

Horror Trailer: Use of mise-en-scene

For our trailer we  focused on on mise-en-scene a lot as we wanted to make sure that we had a variety of different locations as we didn't want to base it all in one place. By having multiple locations it allowed our trailer to look more realistic and a lot more appealing to look at.
For our trailer the different types of locations we used were 2 different houses, a grave yard, the streets, a garden and in school.
Collectively this made out trailer stand out a bit more as it was based on many different locations.
