I decided to analyse this trailer, as it a good example of a thriller horror hybrid, this is a combination which I am interested in and believe could be something id like to do for my trailer. The reason for this is because I like the fact that you can use conventions from both genres and merge them together in order to get a more powerful and effective outcome. Conventions which I especially liked were the use of the power cutting, this this instantly created a more sinister feel to the trailer as our insight into what we think is happening and what is actually happening is slightly disorientated. definitely want to develop this in my trailer and ensure that there is a definite deprivation of light in order to reinforced the enigma.The use of little girls was definitely a compelling touch, as we are unaware as to why they were there, which is even more creepy, however this is a typical horror convention, so therefore I would have to be careful when producing my trailer to balance out elements from both genres. From doing this research there are certain aspects which have motivated me to adapt material in order to fit the narrative of my trailer whilst still creating a suspense filled trailer. The most striking element of the trailer is definitely the camera angles, I particular like the use of frame working, this would be beneficial in my trailer when you see my victim being stalked, this would create a tense atmosphere as they audience are aware of what is happening although the characters aren't. The close-up shots of one of the protagonists in the bath has also inspired me as it shows a complete invasion of privacy, this consequently emphasises what the villain is capable, I definitely want to use a shot similar to this as it will create an enigma of calm and tranquillity, which is later disrupted. I think the visual style of the trailer is also something I would like to try and integrate within my final product, this is because there is a dull, morbid tone throughout, it almost takes the life out of the visuals, this is usefull when foreshadowing the death and destruction in the narrative.
