Tormented Analysis

This is my horror trailer. I think it gives a clear indication of the genre although it starts off as looking like a teen drama before adding a horror element. This works well as it demonstrates that this film isn't just a straightforward horror. The trailer starts out by listing the associated film company, this is a convention and it shows that the film is associated with big companies. The name and release date of the film are included along the bottom the entire way through the trailer to ensure it is remembered. The music starts off reflecting its environment as a house party having some dance music playing; this gives it the image of teen house party and adds to the mood. When it is revealed that someone has died the music cuts out for emphasis. The build up music then begins which changes the mood and make the viewer want to see more. The story is told by clips of the characters talking that allow the viewer to get the idea of the story and connotes normal conversation. The trailer also implies characters dieing from an unknown killer similar to slasher movies giving more indications of the genre.
