Solo Trailer Review 1 "Paranormal Activity"

Paranormal Activity/ 2009/ Psychological Horror
Plot:
A young American couple living on their own discover weird and unusual things happening in the house. They set up cameras in certain rooms to try and document the unusual things. As the film goes on we discover that they’re actually being haunted by the supernatural.
What did you like about it?
I like how in the trailer, they actually showed a real audience’s reaction to the film, showing us that the film is genuinely scary and it was a very new way of creating a trailer. I also liked how the trailer really got across the spookiness of the film with all the fast-paced shots with low key lighting, making it look like anything could happen at any minute, creating lots of suspense.
What didn't you like about it?
I thought the trailer was a bit too vague and didn’t show too much of the film and this in turn left me feeling a bit confused as to what was actually happening in the film. And although I really liked how they showed a real audience reaction to the film, I think there should have been a lot less of this and the trailer should have focused more on the film itself, not the audiences reaction as the audience didn’t make me feel scared at all and I think it ruined the flow of the trailer a little bit.
My Score:

6
