Horror genre trailer analysis

The final Horror trailer I am going to analyse the genre conventions for Texas Chainsaw Massacre




-Certificate of film
-Impact sounds
-Slow music at the start
-Pace of music speeds up as the pace of the editing speeds up
-Fades to black
-During fades at the start there are impact sounds of a chainsaw, this links to the title of the film
-Trailer begins with the characters in a 'normal' setting; which sets the tone 
-Sinister mise-en-scene (creepy looking house, girl see's a scary reflection in the mirror, sink covered in blood, chainsaw
-Reference to the past 
-Images of blood
-A lot of lowkey lighting, most of the trailer was filmed in the dark
-Sinister location in a grave yard 
-Screen remains black for a few seconds 
-Emphasis on 3-D at the end
-Many screams
-Flashing images

Poster analysis introduction

I am going to conduct research and analysis towards the conventions of film posters. I have looked at five different posters from a variety of genres, in order to see if there are similarities within the conventions. This will help my understanding of the depth in film posters, thus benefitting me when I am making my own.  Below are the five posters, each of different genres, which I chose to analyse the conventions of: 1) La La Land  2) Spider Man  3) Insidious 2  4) Hangover 2  5) The Notebook
