Ouija Official Trailer

Within the first 26 seconds of the film we see the first character’s death, which we know, is the catalyst for the occurrences of the rest of the film. This allows the trailer to gain the audiences attention and is also a way to set up the plot for the rest of the film. The fact that they installed the fear into the audience this early in the trailer makes the audience engaged in what they are watching, curious as to what the mystery of the film is. We also see a door opening by itself; this emphasis the 'fear factor'. This is shown in the first 13 seconds of the trailer and shows us that they are trying to evoke fear early on in the trailer. We plan to use this trailer to inspire our own; as we liked the idea of evoking fear early on in a trailer in order to capture the audiences attention and make them want to watch more in order to understand the story-line better. Also we liked the fact that in this movie they used a prop as the main weapon and the fact that the 'Ouija Board' is scary in real life makes the movie all the more realistic and we hope to capture that our own trailer.
