Art of the Trailer - Production Company Research and Inspiration


Due to the fact that our trailer is a horror trailer, we would have to make our ident quite dark and relative to this, however we recently watched the film 'Napoleon Dynamite' (2004), and were really drawn to the quirky title sequence that opens the film. After some research, I found that the sequence was filmed in a basement with an incredibly low budget, which proved to me that even on the lowest budget, like what we have, a creative way of promoting something is achievable. Although this film is an 'indie' comedy (screened at the Sundance Film Festival), I really liked the differential quality it has to others. We may use this as inspiration to show our ident company name 'Spectre House Productions', with a darker feel to suit our genre and add an independent feel. Our initial idea/thought was to use a flip pad drawing techniques for a short sequence, where when flipped through fast the pages would display the ident name and a few other components to promote the film. Below is a link to a website explaining the title sequence, why and how it was filmed with a video and podcast snippet.
