Research: Halloween (1978)


Erin researched Halloween (1978) and found out that the budget for the successful movie which earnt over $150 million dollars was $32,0000 dollars. It was a independent movie and this showed us that we could make a good trailer with little money also. The trailer was analysed also and music played a major key in the horror elements of the trailer. Since it wsa set in the 1970s, it had the classical horror soundtrack which was sterotypically high piton synth. In most trailers we looked at, the common thing we noticed was that only quick glimpses of action were shown to grab the audiences attention. The trailer also used quick cut shots of the killer's shadow or his hand, but never showed his face completely, creating suspense and dramatic effect.
