High budget horror trailers.


A nightmare on Elm street
Horror

This fantastic re-make ( the original being made in 1984) started off with a budget of $35 million and the box office budget is now $115,664,037. One of my favourite parts about this film,where you can see were the money went to good use, is the location of many of the scenes and the small but very effective special effects. When choosing our location I think this film is good inspiration when picturing different locations and what effect the viewer will have on where the clips are filmed. We can really bring across the horror genre in the right location, without having the high budget. Another point about this movie that I liked is, that there are scenes similar to the 1984 version of the film. No one wants to watch a re-make of there favourite film to find that all the storyline has been changed.



Scream 4

When researching high budget movies I couldn't help but write about Scream 4. I can't help but think, on a budget of  $40 million that they could have made this film so much better. In my opinion the trailer is very weak for quite a high budget also. It brings across that the film is about young people looking worried and a man chasing them around in a mask, that I can buy up tesco at Halloween for a fiver. Of course, scream 4 did have such a high budget because it is a successful company that have made lots of scream films before making the 4th one. I'm not sure how, because when watching the trailer for Scream 1, it's still worried teenagers being chased. They also seem to be on the phone an awful lot of the time. As a viewer of the trailers I didn't feel as if I wanted to watch these films. I like to think that a good trailer would be interesting to watch even with the sound muted.
