Evaulating my research

Define teaser trailer- 'Quite simply a teaser trailer, or teaser is a short trailer used to advertise an upcoming movie, game or television series'

Codes and conventions:
After researching three trailers and looking into the different codes and conventions of them and teaser trailers in general,i thought i should post on my findings from them.There are a number of codes and conventions that a horror trailer consists of,some examples are:

• Location-Dark & eerie
• Introduction of antagonist/protagonist
• Quick shots
• Tension building music
• Dark lighting
• Colours typically red and black
• Narrative text-adds suspense
• Sound effects-Non deigectic (added post production) screams and breathing etc.
• Close ups-show victims face and emotions
• P.O.V shots-puts the audience in the antagonists position.
• Institution logo at the start

Ideas from analysis:
Here are some inspiration for shots and edits we may want to use in our trailer:




Extreme close up of eye/eyes to convey emotion and build tension.




Shots of landscapes to establish location and build tension





Girl waking up after a nightmare



Narrative text between clips




Use different lighting techniques



P.O.V Shots
