Paranormal activity is a parallel prequel produced by Tod Williams. It broke many box offices when it came out on 22nd of October at midnight. It instantly became a hit and scared thousands across the world in cinemas which has been recorded. The trailer only lasts for 1minute and 13seconds. The whole trailer is in black and white and not one word is spoken however there are screams from time to time.
It begins with a slow but loud thumping sound almost sounding like a heartbeat in a black background when suddenly there is a scream and someone is thrown at the camera which instantly scares you. The person falls down and the camera is also shown to have fallen as its now at a slanted angle when it slowly starts to zoom in on a door and then some writing appears saying 'In 2009, you demanded it' which is directly linking it to the audience as its talking to them. It then goes on to show people in a cinema supposedly watching the first film when suddenly someone is looks directly in to the camera leading to people in the cinemas to scream. Images of different parts of the house is shown from a camera. More writing comes up still for the audience to read as if its being said to them. We then suddenly see a woman appearing out of nowhere standing infront of a doorway. The name of the film comes up in a flashing sort of way with the '2' being emphasized on. The end scene is back to the same room with it being empty.
Personally this trailer was quite terrifying however i still wanted to watch the film as it wasn't the typical horror movies that you see. The whole atmosphere seems different especially as its been shown from the cameras point of view. Its a simple yet a powerful trailer which stays on your mind for a long time.
