In this trailer there were six sub-titles used throughout which we thought were a satisfactory amount of sub- titles to use. This is because it tells a story to the audience, however there are not to many and they are not repetitive. In the making of our trailer we found that this would be the ideal amount. The sub- titles used were not just the names of the actors but were also information on the curse. This is effective because not only is it informative but it also puts the audience on edge as the sub titles used are placed effectively throughout the trailer. By using the lexis 'It' the sub- title itself does not give to much away about the film as the audience dont know what 'it' is. (LM, MP)
Carrie (2013)
Even though we liked the titles used in this trailer we decided that thirteen sub-titles were to many to use in out trailer.We have however decided that the fact that these sub titles tell the story of the film and fit into the trailer perfectly it makes the trailer even more effective and even more mysterious. The Sub-title 'With a secret no one talks about' is extremely effective as it makes the audience wonder what the secret is and makes the trailer itself more intriguing. (LM)

Shutter Island (2010)
Even though the trailer itself is very effective we decided that four sub-titles are not enough to put in a trailer and that in the trailer we are creating we want to feature more sub-titles. In this trailer there is more dialogue used then sub-titles. In this trailer they only include sub-titles that they need, such as the main actors name and when the film is being released. The trailer itself is very mysterious and this is the reason we believe that there are not many sub-titles used as they want to maintain that sense of mystery. (LM)

Insidious (2010)
We thought that this trailer contained to many sub-titles, similar to the 'Carrie' trailer we thought that thirteen sub-titles were to many. Another problem with the sub-titles is that they are extremely repetitive, throughout the trailer the word 'Insidious' which is the title of the film is repeated and there are hardly any other sub-titles. This could be a strategy so the audience remember the name of the film however we still believe that it is far to repetitive and that the name of the film should not be reveled till the end of the trailer. We however thought that 'From The Makers Of Paranormal Activity And Saw' is a clever and effective sub-title as both these films are popular which therefore suggests to the audience that this film will be just as good and possibly better than the two before, It also suggests to the audience that if you like the previous films then you will enjoy watching this one.
