The Apparition is a Horror genre film with the seb-genre of Supernatural Thriller
The trailer starts off with a narration of a scientific theory, this sets up the film letting the audience know that the film is going to focus around the idea of this theory. The narration goes on to tell us that a team are going to attempt to create a supernatural being. Now the audience knows the general idea of the film they are going to be already playing out the film in their heads, they are going to already have a general idea of what is going to happen. This idea is then confirmed.
Now the audience know that the equilibrium has been broken, the film is only going to increase in atmosphere. We all have seen what happens when people try to control something that they don't fully understand, this has been proven by the Jurassic Park trilogy. But this just add to the audience fear of what is to come. Sometimes the most fearful of moments is anticipation, you know something is going to happen and you're waiting for it, body tensed, ready to hide your eyes. Films play with this idea and have many false climatic builds within the film making the audience loose that protective guard, for they never know when something is going to happen.
Horror genres take some of the common every day things that we fear and think about and play with them, they don't want to watcher to feel safe, they want them to feel as they are being watched. What fun would that be. Films are designed to get your adrenalin pumping, but each genre do it in a different way, Horror have to use fear other wise they will not appeal to the audience.
A lot of people argue that ghosts aren't real and that things that we think are ghosts are simply our mind playing trick on us, this film plays with that idea. It takes that theory and pushes it to the limit. Using the idea that it exists because we make it exist. This will both play with the minds of the sceptical and the believers.
The trailer does not tell us who the actors are but that doesn't stop us seeing them, Ashley Greene, Sebastian Stan, Tom Felton and Julianna Guill. Tom Felton is most known for his role as Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter films. Ashley Greene is most known for her role as Alice Cullen in the Twilight films. Stanastain Stan has been in a few films, one of which being the role James "Bucky" Barnes in Captain America: The First Avenger. Julianna Guill is best known for her role as Bree in the 2009 film Friday the 13th.
People who want to see this film would have at least seen one of these actors in a film before, making it interesting for them to find out how this actor is going to impact the film. Another interesting aspect would be the actors are most known for their action/fantasy roles from previous film, making this interesting to see how they act in a different scenario than they have been best known for doing.
The trailer itself uses dark lighting allowing the audience get the idea of the ominous atmosphere that is to come from this film. The darkness allows the audience to get that feeling of isolation and plays with the fear of the unknown, because nothing is scarier than something you know is there but you can't see it. Playing with darkness is a typical aspect from horror genre films. The trailer wants to show the audience enough for them to ask question and to be demanding answers, this means that they have got to show enough to get their attention but not enough to give the story away for the audience, as no one likes spoilers. This trailer does so by showing the staring disruption to the equilibrium and the panic that follows from this, but it does not hint in any way how they try to over come that disruption and if they succeed of not. Doing the job that the trailer is designed to do.
