Personal Reaction to the Trailer.
This is one of the most effective horror film trailers i have seen this year. When i fist saw the trailer in the cinemas had an effect on me that I am determined to recreate in my horror film trailer, it made me feel a strong, fearful urge to look away.

Interesting Shots used.
After watching the film, as well as the trailers several times, i realised the techniques that were used to create the feeling of fear in the trailer, most notably the use of uncomfortable or disturbing shots. The first can be seen 40 seconds into the trailer.
The camera focuses in on the room in front, looking through a fish tank, making the details in the room behind blurred, this shot makes the audience feel as though there is a daunting prescence watching the room, which ties in well with the films theme of alien abduction. The second can be seen 54 seconds into the film, there is an extreme close up of a mans mouth as he tells the psychologist about something he's seen. Not only does the closeness of the shot make the audience feel uncomfortable, it makes the words he is saying have a much more powerful impact. There are lots of other details within the trailer which add to the uncomfortable atmosphere, the close up of the camera lense at the beginning and the extreme close up of the nails scrapping against metal at the end are two of the most striking images.
