Video Content Analysis from DarcyB16

From this video content analysis I have gathered several pieces of important information. To begin with I have discovered that on average there is between 90 and 120 shots. Subsequently the "Cabin In The Woods" trailer is longer than most with a total of 143 shots. The shot length varies through out the trailer, but there is generally a pattern to the rise an fall of the shot times. Within the first 50 shots the timings are around 3 seconds long. These longer shots build tension and it also gives the director a chance to gives some details of the plot to the audience. Between 50 and 90 shots the duration reduces to 1 or 2 seconds. These faster paced shots create a sense of excitement and keep the audience hooked Beyond shot 90 the shots are very short in length; around 0,5 to 1 seconds. A popular technique that directors like to use in the last few shots of a horror trailer is a noticeable slowing of the shots followed by a final jump scare.
