The trailers that I was watching to get some inspiration are not very up to date, because I thing the first "Teen Horror" movies are the best and not as trashy as the newer one's (for example Freddie vs Jason, Friday the 13th 2009 remake etc.) .
The Blair Witch Project
The first trailer is "The Blair Witch Project (1999)". This is one of the first Teen/ Horror Movies that I watched when I was very young, about 11 years old. The first time I watched this movie I was very scared but I was already able to see the difference between reality and fiction. I knew that the movie was all acting and that there is a myth that the Blair Witch truly exists. The main aspect of the movie, that I thought was very good and very significant was that nearly the whole movie was filmed, from the view of the characters, they actually held the camera to make it look like they would be filming (see "Paranormal Activity") what goes on in that forrest. This main aspect was used to make the movie very believable, that actually some audience thought that the Blair Witch really existed.
Unfortunately I couldn't find a good trailer to analyze.
Halloween Trailer
The Trailer is "Halloween" a very old movie but still one of my favorite old school teen horror movies. It contains everything: A mentally disordered murderer, creepy and dark locations, a perfectly matching soundtrack amazing storyline and perfect day of happening -> Halloween!
If that's not enough for a perfect horror movie then I don't know what else is missing.
This is a remake of the old Halloween series. There are two remakes of Halloween, Halloween 1 and the sequence Halloween 2 (The first one is a good remake, the second one is more trying to make money out of it.)
The trailer has a very fast editing that, with short footage of the movie cut together and a narrator summarizing the story.
The trailer contains a lot of atmospheric music that is played in the background followed by the legendary "Halloween Soundtrack" that you can hear at the end of the trailer. Everything combined together gives Halloween the perfect Teen Horror feeling containing a very creepy and believable story (even though everything is fiction), fitting characters, mostly teenagers and young adults and one of the main characters an old detective that has played in all the Halloween movies and plays a key role, fitting location, a small town where something terrible happened and a unbelievably scary murderer...
The trailer contains a lot of close up shots of the main character and murderer "Michael Meyers". The main character is introduced at the beginning of the trailer as a little child, that later turns into a masked murderer. To make him significant, he is often filmed as a whole in one shot, as well as a lot of close up shots like I already said.
The editing bulilds up the thrilling feeling you get while watching the trailer in addition the atmospheric sound in the background makes it a perfect horror and classic horror trailer.
Freddy vs Jason Trailer
The Third Trailer that I've chosen is Freddy vs Jason. A very special Teen Horror movie where teens aren't the main characters, but Freddy Krueger, a murderer with long metal claws and Jason, a murderer wearing a hockey mask.
This movie trailer has a even faster editing than the Halloween trailer. This is because the trailer only consists of short clips of the movie, containing no speaking parts. This is a very impressive method of doing a trailer, maybe not the best, well this is arguable.
The trailer contains a lot of explosions, fast action and teenagers. This is mainly because teenagers are the main target audience of the movie. The movie contains no difficult story, no difficult dialogues, just a lot of action, explosion, gore, violence, sfx and teenagers that are partying the whole time, well doing teenager stuff.
The two main characters of the movie are being introduced at the beginning, we don't know who they are and what they are. The story isnt very well summarised, that's because there isn't much storyline in this movie.
I really liked the movie because of it's bizzarre combination of two of the most evil characters in the history of horror, it is actually a battle between these two characters. This is combined with a lot of sfx, explosions and action what makes it very thrilling even though the storyline isn't really good, basically the storyline is the one from the older movies where these characters played in.
