Eden Lake - NEW EXTREME TRAILER!

Eden Lake is a british horror film made in 2008. This particular trailer shows us many signs that indicates the film is a horror. For example, at 1.11 steve ( The boyfriend ) is shown chained up with barbed wire in distress, and Brett ( The leader of the gang ) says " Now we've got to finish this" when the shot changes a red flash is used to indicate blood and fear, this creates suspense and leaves the audience interested in what they do to "finish" him. The start of the trailer shows the couple going for a swim in a lake, this indicates the name of the film and where it will be set. This particular film doesnt have big film star actors, so they are not mentioned within the trailer. Also the film doesnt show off extreme special effects, this indicates the budget isnt very high. The trailer is an advert for the film, the use of the advert is to try and sell the film to as many buyers as possible. By doing this they must make sure they use correct techniques within the trailer to promote it's genre as a horror. For example the red flashes used work very well to show fear, and promote suspense within the trailer. Also using lots of small clips which are stringed together very fast makes the trailer more suspensfull.
