Research and planning: Teaser trailer conventions

This teaser trailer for night mare on elm street follows the conventions of a teaser trailer as it uses non-degetic sound as the music is played over the nervous bits of the film (when you expect something to happen) and also it has a voice over of the little girl counting to 10, there are jump cuts of the main character wich gives you an idea of what the film is going to be about but not too much, there are also jump cuts to the other characters and the closeups of the emotions on there faces show that something bad is going to happen. The closeups of the characters show the fear and the situation that there in and also the long shots of the main charcater (evil) shows how dominant he is in the location that they are in, and how isolated the other characters are.




In this teaser trailer 'let me in', there is non digetic music played, closeups again are used to show the emotion of the characters faces and again the fear and isolation that the young boy is amongst. Jump cuts again are used in this horror teaser trailer, the jump cuts switch from the main character (evil) to show how dominant she is, and then switches to the little boy and to the trouble that the little girl has caused, jump cuts switch to the police cars/vans with the sirens on and a long shot is used to show the amount of trouble there actually is. Long shots are used to show the dominance of the main character against the other characters including adults and groups of people. The strange happenings of the teaser attract your attention and also its a story line which many people go through, for example, many people move into new homes and want to get to know there neighbors better, so this film could attract a wide audience.
