What I Have Learnt From My Trailer Research

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.
