Further Research into My Genre

Fatal Attraction  is a well known psychological thriller. Fatal Attraction was released in 1987 and the term 'bunny boiler' was produced was this film. This films narrative follows a similar narrative to mine where a married man has a one night stand and the other woman because obsessed with him. The music in this trailer stays the same throughout, it doesn't increase in pitch or drop. This constantly puts the audience on the edge as they are waiting for the music to drop just like in horror films, the audience is waiting to see what the 'crazy' woman does. This is very effective as again this creates curiosity in the audience and they will want to see the film.

Again narration is used to tell the story. This is so the audience can understand the narrative properly and not be confused by the trailer. The voice also creates some suspense as his voice is quite deep and unemotional. A lot of the noises heard in this trailer are diagetic ones, for example car alarms, the noises used are those you hear when trouble has occurred. These noises the audience recognize as trouble and therefore can understand the trailer better without giving away too much information about the trailer.

After the story is created the editing becomes very fast paced which shows you the obsession the lady has with the man. The trailer goes slow, fast, slow then fast again. This puts the audience on a mini roller coaster ride. It makes the audiences heart pulse quickly and then gives them a breather before make it pulse even faster. At the end of the trailer it leaves the audience with a cliff hanger as you see her try to attack him with a knife but failing but you don't see the rest of the scene so the audience does not know if she succeeds. The acting in this trailer is very vital in creating the atmosphere. The crazy lady's acting is very believable, her facial expressions send chills down the audience's spine. I will not have such quality acting so this will be a limitation in my filming and i need to ensure that my actors are sure of their role and play it out as best as they can. The costume, hair and make up is also vital in this film. Her crazy out of control hair immediately tells the audience that this woman is the insane one. It also makes her quite scary to the audience as it just connotes that she is wild and untamed by anyone.
