Grave Encounters is a film directed by 'The Vicious Brothers', set inside an abandoned Psychiatric Hospital where an unexplained phenomena has been reported for years.
This type of Thriller is the kind that really gives me the 'Heebie-Jeebies' (also known as the chills) and I think its truly down to the non-diagetic music, sound effects and emphasised dialogue that really adds to the suspense. For example the blood-curdling scream and crashes of props are all very sudden and put the viewers on edge. Additionally the random airy sound affects and simplistic music all adds to the tension, and this is again emphasised by the rising speed in tempo and increasing volume.
In addition, significant and informative phrases help the viewer to recognise the importance of the events that are happening.
These are obvious and powerful ways of showing key points.
Another way in which this trailer is affective is how the majority of the shots are filmed by hand, giving us a more personal view of the events and therefore making the viewer feel more involved and consequently more scared.
This trailer, I feel is very effective in the way that it captures the viewers attention by the lack of hightened sound. Personally, since watching this I now want to see the film and this proves that this trailer is a success.
