Analysis of trailer


I have decided to analyse I trailer as part of my research, to look into the conventions used in a horror trailer. I have analyses the key conventions used in the trailer for th13teen rollercoaster, this is not a trailer for a movie but I felt it associated more with my storyline compared to the other horror trailers I looked at.


These are a few examples of the camera angles and shot sizes used in this trailer, these shots consist of extreme close-ups, establishing shots, medium shots.

Camera Shots used
·         There are several establishing shots used, this sets the scene of the trailer, it portrays the genre straight away through the atmosphere shown. The establish shot mirrors a stereotypical setting for a horror, eerie forest, foggy, dark.
Editing
·         Short cuts to each scene, the short cuts are sharp which conventionally add a dramatic effect
·         Credits at the bottom appear giving the audience specific information for the rollercoaster itself, ‘High restriction’ and ends with signifier of the Alton towers logo.

Sound
·         No sound track used for the trailer; however the only music used would be the significant sound for Alton towers, which helps the audience, know which theme park the ride is at.
·         Diagetic sound of the dialogue of the girl saying, ‘If you go to the woods today, you better not go alone.’
·         Enhance sound effects of the person breathing
