Horror trailer genre analysis

The second trailer I am going to be analysing the genre for is Annabelle

-Fades to black
-Creepy sinister music
-Impact sound
-Pace of music slows down as pace of editing slows down
-Pace of music speeds up as pace of editing speeds up
-Shadows under title of the film, in the shapes of coffins
-Font of title hints the horror genre to the audience
-Name of film comes out of a wall which is quite sinister
-Images of blood and dolls are shown throughout trailer, which adds the effect of fear
-Low-key lighting is used at the start, this creates an anxious atmosphere
-Quick changes of camera angles and cuts in between scenes
-Tagline mentioning other horror films; the conjuring
-The music works contrapuntally in the middle of the trailer
-Release date is October, which is around Halloween time
-Doll music is contrapuntal music
-Whole idea of trailer is contrapuntal as it is about a doll which symbolises, children, sweetness and innocence

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.

list of tools I used in software

Adobe premiere: software ALL DONE ON A PC Camera: HC-VX980 Manfrotto tripod Use of dissolves From black dissolving into next shot – slows the tone down and gives glimpses in (seems like little romantic snapshots at the start) I added an outside sound during the park shots Camera sound from the colleges sound effect library Impact sounds from BBC sound library I included a sound effect of a ring tone from BBC sound effects library instead of the apple iphone ringtone which I recorded with the shot iphone doesn’t sound like a ringtone in a trailer Fading down the volume of the music whenever there was any dialogue from the actors the music was loudest in the 3 rd part so I especially did this here Photoshop, for the film title
