As I have decided on the horror genre, I will look more closely for trailers for horror films to see the ways that genre is presented in the trailers. I have chosen to look at trailers from the following films:
- 'Apocalypse'
- 'Saw 7'
- 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre'
- 'Innkeepers'
- 'Inbred'
- 'The Purge'
- 'Paranormal Activity 5'
- '1303'
My first trailer is the Apocalypse
These are the conventions found:
- Impact Sounds
- Cuts to black
- Hand held cam used - this will show panic and state of mind
- Fast pace editing
- Gory looking characters
- Violence
- Screams
- Dark Setting
- Fear on characters facial expressions
- Tagline directs at you - suggesting threat & danger
- Film name slowly appears
- Manic noise slows towards end
- Muted colour scheme
- Creepy music played
