In this post i will be looking at horror trailers that are set in the woods or have links to birthdays. I will be looking at camera angles, sound, narrative and lighting.
4 Horror Tales – Dark Forest
This is a Korean film and trailer; however it is a very good trailer featuring a forest so believe it to be a good trailer to include. The story is of five trekkers who go on a mountain climbing trip. The journey leads them to walk through a forest which is meant to be off limits! Two of the trekkers get wounded and the group is faced with a serious problem, they are in an area that has no cell phone signal so they are completely cut off from the outside world. One of the trekkers, Jung-ah, is unwillingly able to see the future, a residual influence of her shaman parents.
The trailer starts with a calm, normal clip of the group going to the mountain. They are all talking in the car and there is a recording from a video camera to make it the scene seem more normal. There is then a title and a loud sound that u would relate to a horror. It sound like someone is scratching their nails down a blackboard and making the hair on the back of your neck stand on end.
The next clip is of the group as they enter into the forest. Its starts with a high shot and then focuses in the the trees to establish the location. There is a background voice over to narrate but it is in Japanese so I could not understand it. These couple of seconds are of the group just as they are entering into the forest, when all is fine and normal.
However seconds later you begin to see how wrong that assumption is wrong. The female actress starts seeing flashback type images of a dead person lieing on the floor and other members of the group as they lie did. So the vision is obviously of the future and what will happen to them. This is then followed by one of the group falling and becoming injured just as she saw in her vision.
As the night sky comes over them,weird things start to happen. They are being dragged out tents and turning into evil people. i believe this to be from the forest but is un-known. This gives the viewer the opportunity to think what ever they like about what has happened, which is usually worse than what producers can think of.
It finishes with the main star being dragged under the car. Making the viewer wounder what has happened!
