When researching other trailers I found that there were certain similarities that they all used in order to stay within convention and the genre. Here is what I found:
- Establishing shot
- Close ups
- Arch shot
- Predominantly low-key lighting
- Quick cuts
- Fades to black
- Captions
- A creepy, unsettling score
- Heightened foley
- Dialogue/narration
- A secluded location (typically in the woods) - however a haunted house is also popular
I will attempt to use some of these features in my trailer in order to keep within convention and to keep the genre clear.
