Black background fade up to red screen gems, fades to a ELS of a red plane flying over the sea, the sound is diagetic so you can hear the waves crashing om the beach and the propellers of the plan. Cuts from the plane to black to fade up to a glacier and fades to black to cut to a burning city, the CGI plane flys through the shot with the diagetic sound of the plane.There is a pulsating guitar and drum soundtrack.Cuts to black,and fades up to a burning Hollywood sign and this has set the scene completely to a city in California.

Hostel trailer
Sound
A slow stringed melody to create a sense of wrong doing and misjustice, this is then replaced as the camera tracks through a basement with a man holding a hose cleaning a room, it turns into a faster paced orchestral strings introduced by a symbol, with a synth bass sprawling sound across the soundtrack. Drums and the symbol are played when the text is applied. Their is a light background noise of rustling and screaming until their is a close up of a toe with a
pair of wire cutters around it followed by a synth drum hit to suggest the toe was cut off but the scene fades to black, the trailer is cut quiet until you hear the digetic sound of the man picking up the drill and clanking of tools, the rest of the trailer is digetic sound from the sences and the fast paced orchestral stings soundtrack and right at the end their is a voice of god "Hostel".
Mise-en-scene
Super imposed Production companies and retail companies "Lions gate films" and "Screen Gems". The ELS is of a abandoned factory with its east side has golden sun light pouring in from the empty alcoves left by the broken windows. Then it fades to a extreme close up of running water pouring from a leaky roof, cuts to a puddle on a mud floor, fades to text with a orangey yellow glow like molten metal also the text is flashed up beyond the screen so seen a little pat of the words and then it focuses to fit the screen, the background fades to another muddy puddle with water dripping into it and the text begins to fade out and then fades out with the clip. The shot fades into a tracking shot looking through a open door with a man cleaning a concrete room with a hose. Then text is fades in "Where all your darkest" Fades to a man with a singular light above him which connotes torture or interrogation.
Camera shots and editing
Establishing shot fades up From LGF and is of a high angle extreme long shot and fades down and continues to fade up and down between text and shots, some of the text is superimposed over the shot for example over the puddle and the antagonists. "20" seconds in the medium shot of the man strapped to a chair is in slow motion as the bag is pulled from his head and cuts to text. Fade up to tools and fade down to text. a gong shot of another man strapped in a chair and it either fades down, up, down, up, to make it look like the light if flickering and the shot fades to text, which jumps out of the shot and then focuses to the screen.More fades follow as the timing between shots decreases. The extreme close up of the toe with wire cutters around it, cuts to black and has a 2-3 seconds pause. the shot timing decrease further and has the text over the shots that cut between the torturers.cuts now replace fades and during the shot of the man spinning around with the face welder protector has a brief inverted colour shot and the same is when he is walking and the omean is behind him. Low angle shot of a hand on a troller pulling it then fade to text to fade up to a long shot of the side of the trolley being pull along and fades out. After the text now their is a yellow and orange filter over the first miliseconds of the shot after the text. Their is a jump cut when the man is being pulled along. Shot of the metal toilet paper hotder with the man being starnged infuences the final text 'Hostel' because it is upside down as if you are looking in the mirrior like the toilet paper holder. and the the main text appears Eli Rothes Hostel which dims and lights up again, which is followed by coming soon which also dims but and jumps out of the screen before the dime and fades to black to end the trailer.

Audience Research into horror films
We created a questionnaire to discover a more in depth idea of what the main age group of horror viewers like in a horror film. The findings The main watchers of horror are female whilst the main age is 16 - 20 year olds which means this is the age group we would target by casting actors within this age group so their is a link from the main viewership to the actors so they can be more involved the situation thus giving a more realistic horror experience. The main focus of our adveristing campaign would be the trailer as that was highlighted as the most significant way the audience is convinced to watch a film. The two main sub genres that the audience prefers is the psychological thriller and gore, our film is based on a psychological thriller because it is the easiest to make on a low budget. Our advertising campaign would have to be quite large or get a lot of good reviews and this will create a great amount of publicity through word of mouth because the questionnaire suggested that the audience only watches a horror film on a yearly basis in the pictures.

Film distribution
Distribution is marketing and duplication plus getting the text into the cinemas.
Distributors ask the question of the the film who,why and how this will decide whether the film is worth investing large amount of money to promote it. Distributors will bring in audience to the film by various advertising techniques if that be a print ad campaign or a viral Campaign and possibly most effective a TV ad campaign. T.v ads are comprised of three factors the teaser something that comes out before the film is finished being edited or even started, this is designed to let you know that it will come out soon. the next step is to make the main which is the full length ad this is used just before the film is coming out after this you will use a short ad which is shorted from the full ad and played when the film is in the cinema.
Other ad techniques may include billboard along the road in train or tube stations bus shelters this will depend on what your audience is and this will affect what path you will focus your advertising on. There are also multimedia ads such as Internet games and a website also you may have benefited by Reviews and editorial space in magazines this will be free and if you Unique selling point is unique then you are more likely to be included in these spaces ,also if you have a major actor like 'tom cruise' this will automatically bring vast swaves of media attention this is why many films spend large amounts of there budget on getting these actors.
The larget audeince is 15-24 year old males and this is why most films aim at that audeince and they try to release the film when another major film does not come out.

Gender Representation In Horror films
Many published studies or opinions that the females that survive lose their femininity in a forlorn hope of surviving the ordeal that has taken their femininity and replaced it with masculine traits, such as aggression. these traits are always present in the slasher films the smart girl how becomes aggressive and kills the killer(Sarah Trencansky 2001 writes that the girls needs to "recognize the horror surrounding her and eventually fights back against the attacker".
the horror genre views the sexually of women as a bad thing for example the female who is involved in the act will usually die during or after, whilst the non tempter female will survive the the killer. " a girl who prefers sex to other obligations and be a means of demise".
The killers are usually mental victims or bullied and sexually deviant males because nearly all slasher films the killer is a male, this reinforces the idea that women start off as the weaker of the genders and especially is they a sexually disassociated like in Halloween the main character is not interested in sex and is the one being preyed on by the killer because they are the weakest.
